"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The crackdown continues.

Iranian police have arrested 120 party-goers at three private gatherings in wealthy districts of the capital Tehran and charged them with mingling with the opposite sex and dancing, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

Not to beat on Reuters. Okay, yes I do intend this as further beating. Notice how terrorists become activists and any unsavory jingoistic sounding words are stuck in scare quotes, yet what the purity police in Iran call party-goers is reported faithfully by Reuters?
