Edwarda, if I may chime in, an example of where we draw the line is .08 (as I noted in a msg to X, last night). It's an easy line (law) to draw but a rather poor indicator of degree of offense -- It does make it VERY easy to convict -- and collect money and votes. These kinds of laws also tend to reverse, in practical terms, the burden of proof from the accuser to the accused.

As for brandishing a fist in the face (shame on Neo) -- it's a nothing deal -- UNLESS

1. You brandish it in the President's face, in which case you will have to explain to the Secret Service that you really, really didn't mean it.

2. You brandish it in the face of an aircrew member, in which case you probably will be charged.

3. You brandish in the face of a cop, in which case your bullet riddled corpse will be the subject of community unrest.
