Of course you do. You're confusing rights with laws. Nothing at all. Totally off-topic. Just because a few people claim to not hear the message in no way suggests that it is incoherrent. You should see your doctor, might be a brain tumor or alzheimers coming on. Yeah, it says the 99% are correct when they charge the government is run by the 1%.
The judge threatened him with death? That sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me. Also, I enjoyed this line: Haha. If only he had grown pot, then the poor progressives wouldn't have to concede that honest technological innovators deserve protection, too! Ed O.
Jeff sounds like a cybersquatter who was trying to play the system by hiring a series of attorneys, playing dumb, and hiding behind limited liability protection. I guess we'll see how it turns out. Ed O.
Yes it is. But Freedom Of Speech is an absolute right you are born with, no matter when or where you are born. As with most rights, it's as old as the human race. And much, much older than law. Legislating to restrict it, limit it, or abolish it has effect only on those who willingly surrender their right. I do not. I am aware of no law (to this point) that adds conditions of personal hygiene or leave-no-trace camping in order to "be allowed" to speak.
The bottom line is, without a reduction in government spending, all the taxing/punishing the rich, or whatever, isn't gonna help one iota. Whomever gets elected better that at the top of his agenda, or we're in for a nightmare....Willy Whittle, or not.
True, and in my lifetime Republican Presidents have spent and borrowed far more than Democratic Presidents. But I'll not vote for either party this time around. I'd shoot myself before voting for anyone from the pathetic field the Republicans are presenting, and the Democrats are refusing to even give me a choice at all, so I'll cast my vote for President to someone outside those parties.
Nobody has squelched their speech. They can say what they want to say. They've said what they wanted to say, which isn't much. And you're still confused. They've exercised their right to assembly. Maybe they should "assemble" on your front lawn and at your office.
FWIW, I always thought things like parade permits are questionable. Those do give govt. the ability to pick and choose who may assemble and when. On the other hand, something like the Macy's parade, where they orderly block off the streets to facilitate assembly makes sense.
According to me. They don't "come", they simply exist as a part of life. Better to ask "where have they gone?".
