38. Yes - me too

Heck, the FBI knows me from the COINTELPRO program in the 1960s. I haven't changed my philosophy and they haven't changed their unconstitutional practices. And I don't give a damn what they know. I obtained my redacted FBI file via a FOIA request around 1980 and it was filled with vague allegations and a list of what meetings I attended. You know, I belonged to dangerous organizations like the American Friends Service Committee and SANE. They even interviewed my boss and my landlord, knowing that I had committed no crime but insinuating that I might be a risky guy to employ or rent to.

Bottom line - yes, the FBI can be nasty little bastards - but don't let them stop you.
