I just wish Americans saw the way their rights are REALLY being taken away. It sure as hell isn't the gun issue!
It's the privacy and financial issues! That's how you're losing your freedom in America! The war by the ultra rich multi nationalist corporations against Americans will not be won with a gun but by a computer and their playing on our fears of terrorism.
And free speech? Gimme a break! We lost that one a long time ago when the majority of Americans stopped voting!
Free speech, or more accurately, the ability to be heard speaking, is quickly disappearing, with media owned and controlled by fewer and fewer. In fact I just read where the White House is denouncing The Onion newspaper (if you haven't seen it, find it and read it!) because it's making Bush look bad! Like they are causing it. If you really want to be heard, as you point out, get out and vote. And encourage others to vote as well. All to often it is the vocal minority that gets their way. Gun control groups are just one example.
