Maybe...maybe not.

But, if you sharpen up a pencil and pull out a sheet of paper, let's see what happens if you decide to draw a cartoon...a cartoon about...oh...I don't know...maybe a religious figure...one that used to ride a horse and swing a sword and yell about infidels that needed to be killed and such...

I'm sure some court, somewhere outside the US, would like to have you appear before it...or they may just try you without any input from you and send out some guys in little white coat...er, sheets and visit you in the middle of the night...

Sorta' sounds a bit KKKish, doesn't it?
