its important to think in terms of laws...but even that will do very little, and it will get here as soon as National Security becomes Law of the Land...this is, explanations and rhetorics if any will be kept to a minimum...
if we thought, someone, was listening to us when we went to the streets to protest, wait till you see that leaving your house could be a greater mistake...
if you are NOT afraid for your life(like the rest) it probley means you are not afraid that your thoughts will be repressed and you'll also join the new and improved way of Democracy...in that case, consider this as a note to your children's...
and finally, sadly, unless you know some good lawyers, that might reduce 90 years sentences, i would be very hesitant to speak my mind...all in all, its time to be careful with our words...if you thought you were careful before, you are not listening...
a heads up...
peace... |

How come Chomsky's books and Michael Moore's films gross so much money, and get so prominently displayed in shopping mall bookstores and DVD outlets? |

But I don't think that we should even consider watching our words. Things in the world have to change when it gets bad enough and people finally join together to achieve something and then we will be one more step closer to peace

| | kittykorruption | May 30, 2007 5:21am | | People are free to speak their minds because any viewpoint outside of the small political box is effortlessly deflected and discounted as inane rhetoric. Since I don't watch TV much, perhaps I'm not the best source for this, but in my experience, I've noticed that people with radical political viewpoints on popular news stations tend be histrionic, disorganized in thought, and/or inarticulate (just what I've seen). I think that in doing this, news media can quite easily dismiss an outside political viewpoint by planting a crazy/ignorant/immoral face on the entire group. People are being repressed pretty much by being ignored. If only people read books and journals a bit more... |
