Our president seems to think our tiny, shiny, useful and sometimes ceremonial penknives and pocket knives are a threat to national security.

After every election I wait and see which of my freedoms will be challenged next. I didn’t feel like my privacy was being invaded when I was told my phones were tapped and my library activities were being documented. Both of those seemed like good ideas, and since I don’t often plan bombings on the phone or borrow books on explosives or Jihad, I figured those were accpetable means with which to protect our population from doom.

But my penknife?

My beloved pocket knives?

The one in my fifth pocket, the one in my center console, the one clipped to my visor in my truck and the one in my desk drawer – all threats to national security NOW when I’m not allowed to carry a gun in my state either.

If I can’t open a beer bottle with a gun like Homer Simpson, NOW I can’t pop it open with my knife either!

Mister President, do something else with my tax dollars please, or I’ll carve my frustrations into the nearest Oak tree!
