The year is 2007, not 1984.

Is it right to use violence as a way of inciting a revolution? Mind you, when the general census thinks of a "revolution," guns and explosions come up. I think the most profound revolutions are ones vocalized-- the ones where people have had it but will not resort to violence to make their points heard. It's a lot more comlicated than that but if you're intelligent, you'll get my flow. Whatever...violent revolutions are needed, too. Just take a look at the American Revolution...in fact, I think all successful revolutions may have been violent haha. Not sure on that so don't quote me. I wanted to say desegregation was done non-violent but I think that'd be a lie. And I don't want to say it was non-violent for the most part either because shit...I wasn't in the 60's and 70's. All I do know fo sho though is that somethings just aren't right today. People are losing more and more ground on rights that were once thought irrefutable. I guess nobody really notices cuz I hear people saying, "people who bitch about our freedom of speech are stupid. you can't say stuff like this in other countries without being shot or taken to jail." Uh...false. Here in America, where our technological advancements are oh so grand, we get to be much more discreet about our power of manipulation. No, nobody will arrest you or shoot you where you stand. But you will go on a list and be under survellience (more so than you are now) and one day you may not evne be able to board a plane due to some erroneous comment you made months ago that didn't go over well with the US Government. So I ask anyone reading this to open wide and let the painful truth of our violation rape you no longer. no sir. V.

How free are we when the Patriot Act exists? And wire taping? There is also a manipulation of ideas going on and censorship is riding it like a train.

Mhm...did you know a ruling that occured a few days ago practically kept Habeus Corpus null and void? Thank you, mr. president.

The constitution is a piece of paper to him and our civil liberties are a joke.
