At some point you've got to stop reading the script.....
That has nothing to do with my point...the term "terrorism" is overused and too broadly applied.

Every time it gets misused, some facet of big brother tightens one of the cords another notch...in most cases with the best of intentions but ultimately the same net effect downstream.

Your end of the spectrum is just as guilty of hyperbolic overuse of the term as those who charge 12-years as terrorists based on social media jokes. Anything ya'll don't like is "terrorism"...I've even heard moral opposition to affirmative action and gay marriage described with the "T" word. People with an agenda like the "T" word because it implies an imperative to trample fundamental rights to advance your cause.
