Not much to do with homesteading until "they/them" arrive at your place...
As a nation we now hold secret prisoners, as a nation we invaded a 
country half way around the world and as a nation we have locked up a 
reporter who was counting on the First Amendment to protect her.
The thought of having "they/them" show up at your homestead is sort 
of far fetched isn't it?

 >>In calling for Miller's immediate release, the statement noted 
that more than 120 journalists were imprisoned around the world at 
the end of 2004, "primarily in China, Cuba, Eritrea, and other 
countries where journalists are frequently locked up in the course of 
practicing their profession."

By jailing Miller, the statement said, "the U.S. government is not 
only undermining the ability of a free press to function in this 
country but also sending a signal to other governments that such a 
course is acceptable when dealing with journalists of whose actions 
they do not approve."<<
