3. Semi official "enemies lists"

People on "no-fly" lists, people who are the targets of the NSA illegal wire tapping. All being labeled as "terrorists" (including ACLU members, Quakers, people at protest rallies, people against military recruiting, etc).

Very likely many of us here.

4. Toss up... domestic spying/ effect of cronyism (sp?) on katrina victims...
Domestic spying could be the golden ticket to their demise.
this katrina thing will impact people for generations to come.... voters will remember who was at the helm when gramma's house floated away

5. Think gerrymandering should also make this list.
Just such an lewd way to affect election results.
