That is just scary.

I can see how, in 1942 Germany, saying "I don't want Hitler in my shop" could lead to a visit by the Brown Shirts.

I can see how saying "no" to Stalin, in 1955 CCCP could bring about a visit from the КГБ.

I can even, possibly, see how saying "no" to Charlie and Camilla could get you a visit from some angry people (although it shouldn't), because, after all, he is the Prince.

But in America? Worrying that telling the Vice President to "piss off, I don't like you" might get him in trouble? Last time I looked we were still a free country, and while I can't kick Joe in the shins, I can certainly tell him what I think.

Can't I?
