of things that make me angry:

NEW YORK (Reuters) — A lawyer was arrested late Monday and charged with trespassing at a public mall in the state of New York after refusing to take off a T-shirt advocating peace that he had just purchased at the mall.

What did these outrageous shirts say? Some sort of negative and crude remark about Bush/Cheney/Powell/Rumsfeld? “Long live ANSWER”? Nope. It said “Give Peace A Chance”. In this instance, the shirt was newly purchased, but since the phrase dates back to at least the 1960s, this means you can be arrested at a mall for wearing an old T-shirt. Nice.
