Hey DQ.
In what ways do you feel they have reduced our free speech?
When a person goes out to a war protest rally and gets clubbed for no reason by the police or the police 'overlook' such actions by war supporters
Restrictions on what can or cannot be published on the net
The right to speak ill of the government or government officials
Perhaps I should not have restricted it to free speech but to various constitutional issues...like the 10th amendment
Adopting an attitude of "I’ll restrain you (as an adult) from doing what someone else thinks that you should not do"
Restrictions on political comment by underage people but near adults (16-17 year olds)
Do you want to be protected from doing what someone else thinks is bad by their religious or moral code
Preventing groups of protestors from getting close enough to the politicians whose actions they disapprove of to hear them
Putting people under surveillance and into databases who publically disagree with the current administration’s positions
enough for now?
got to go

I thought for a minute there we were going to be OK but I dotn think we are going to be OK.
The prisons are ready they have delayed the process of getting a passport so fewer people can bale.
They are getting the bombs ready for Iran.
They have the laws lined up where they can put you in prison for helping the enemy (they get to define enemy and help).
Its not going to be a happy christmas this year Im affraid.

Yes. and our jobs are going to third world sweatshops at a pace like never before! Things are going great, and they're only getting better. I'm doing all right, getting good grades, the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Umm they are not shades, they are peril sensivive glasses.
Good for you, all you need is a degree you know.
Thanks Desh, this has really cheered me up! All I can say is that if you are right (and I do know others who believe this is exactly what's coming down) I probably will be in jail for Christmas.
But, I am a little more optimistic. We will see.

Im trying to not get too depressed by it but man its hard sometimes.
I have a 19 year old son and I really fear for his future.
I hope so badly I am wrong about this mess.

Yes. What are americans fighting for now? A bunch of people who want to destroy the borders and give all the jobs to slave laborers? Fuck all this crap.

Umm mostly we are fighting to support our cheap oil guzzling lifestyle.
But that will become somewhat of a moot point when the demand for oil orstrips the supply, which will be soon.
At that point we will have to control the oil fields to support our lifestyle and then other major powers will be wanting to take those oil fields from us....
It is destined to only get worse in the longterm.
Slavery or no slavery.
