no just responding to your topic at hand, if we buy new cars run on computers that can be controlled by the government or private citizens, we shouldn't fear as long as we don't provoke anyone who might have the will and power to hurt us.
the sad reality is freedom of speech comes with consequences, but even in your line of work you shouldn't fear the government, because if they have a target there are countless ways for them to eliminate a threat.
so buy new cars with the profits from your iodine business, and enjoy free market capitalism in America.
