I Hang A Sign That Says "GOD BLESS THE FBI" And Am Visited By The Ghost Of Abbie Hoffman

?1517010336

I’d just finished putting this up when I heard a vaguely familiar voice say:

“Whoa whoa Whoa Man! What Gives?”

I turned and saw him - the hair, the flag shirt, he was unmistakeable: “Abbie? Abbie Hoffman?”

“Man! I knew things were getting bad, and the counterculture was selling out and all, but ‘God Bless the FBI?’ Really? It’s come to this?”

“Oh man - Abbie - listen: Things… things’ve gotten really weird lately.”

“I’ll say.”

When faced with a choice between individual freedoms and the secrecy of the FBI, we tend to rule against the FBI.

However, when we must make the choice between the FBI and lawlessness, we tend to rule for the FBI.
