Freedom of Speech...a thing of the past ?

[Ms Grumpy]

Alan, I usually let things roll off my back. But my 15 yr old daughter is very outspoken. She raises money and does a walk every year for Children's Cancer, she is involved in an anti bulling club at school, she is in a club for acceptance of all sexual orientations, she helps wrap and deliver presents for all the family we adopt at Christmas and she does so much for others. When she found out that her right to protest against things that she does not think are fair, she was livid and that made me start thinking about everything that has been taken away from her. I am still fuming.

And the sad thing... most of the sheeple are "content." They're completely oblivious and out of touch with what is going on behind their back. If you speak out, you are labeled extreme/religious zealot.

I have been feeling out more and more of my coworkers and friends. I'm weeding out all the ones that I feel cannot be saved. I refuse to play nice with people who vote for a living and think they have the right to have the government take away my rights because it makes them feel safer.

We live in a republic, not a democracy! The individual is protected from mob rule. (Or at least the founders set it up that way)
