I'm just afraid that our real freedoms are fast eroding. With corporate and government brainwashing from all directions from all media sources, we won't even have the freedom of thought very soon. Many in the world already don't.

A screaming child in a supermarket is a trivial example. Yes, I've screamed back before - in a restaurant - at the screaming little shit's parents. To see how they like it. But that's not what freedom of speech is about.

Just talking about violence can get one locked up without a trial. We live in a society that you can't even speak ugly thoughts without ramifications. Homeland security is out in full force, unaccountable, and they are not amused.

You either have freedom of speech or you don't. There, I said it.
