That just some of the passive things we can do to 'em as a "legal" start.
That'll show 'em who loves freedom. [/B]

While I am into recycling, protecting the environment, and a lot of other "tree hugging" ideals, I do NOT believe that you SHOULD be able to burn the flag. I also believe that if it is so bad here for some people that they simply cannot stand the oppression then they should pack it up and "Get the *#@! out of here" Go try it somewhere else and you will quickly see how great America is. I am speaking from experience; I live in the Bahamas. Bahamas you think; sounds real tough. Well, the government here is about as ineffective as a government could be. They are worried about the stature of their position not helping the problems facing the country. Phone service, power service, mail service, health services, road services; all ran by the government and all are pathetic. Guess what, it rubs off of the citizens too. Hey if the government doesn't care, why should I. The American government is not perfect but it is better than anything else out there.
I know it is a travesty for all of you poor, complaining, down trodden souls. I mean how dare "they" track your calls or watch your bank account. You should be able to check out any book you want to; heck, any book should be able to be published. I mean, it's not like we have anything to worry about.
We are safe here from any of the millions that want to kill all Americans .. ..RIGHT?? No reason to want to keep tabs on those types of things. Nahhh
There is definitely a contingent in America that feels like they have the right to do anything they want. But those same people are the first to cry out loud when you want to say the Pledge of Allegiance because it mentions God or look into their bank accounts/phone records for activity that could threaten us all. These same independant, free spirits are the first to point their pathetic fingers at the government when a tragedy happens screaming "Why did you not protect us" Well, as the old saying goes, you can't protect an idiot from himself.
If you have nothing to hide, what is the problem with a little investigation. I don't like it any more than you but I understand that we are living in a different world now. Things are not just going to take care of themselves and the bad guys are not going to just go away.
I am not directing this at any one person. This is for all the winey a$$, bleeding heart, government hating, freedom preaching, liberty taking, moral bending, responsibility skirting, jerks.
have a nice day,
Ben
