Did I recently move to China or Iran and not realize it? A guy promotes a documentary opposing natural gas drilling and ends up on a government watch list? Maybe it's just me, but I find that deeply disturbing.

Originally Posted By markymouse Maybe he needs to worry less about the Pennsylvania (really, Pennsylvania?) Department of Homeland Security and worry more about those star whackers. And if you think a threat doesn't have to be taken seriously just because it's entirely fictional, I've got four words for you ... Weapons of Mass Destruction
