Looks like it's too late to avoid being governmentally screwed, so you might as well stay.

The iron grip of the Bush dictatorship tightens. At the moment it may seem like it is in your favour, but when the government start doing things you object to, where is your right to protest, to speak freely, to organise legitimate resistance? Don't let them erode your rights!

Damn, I was getting rather carried away in the spirit of this thread then

I find it almost amuzing that people of the left seem to believe their own propaganda.

Oh bog off Giancarlo, silly schoolchild. Just because you bow to rhetoric and 'the party line' and haven't ever formulated an original thought yourself is no reason to get jealous of those of us who do have a mental capacity...

erp... the point of the United States is that we can criticize Bush (or whatever President is in power). If criticism is not allowed, then we might as well not even vote either, because the vote is our power to express our criticism. And if we give up that right, then we should stop calling Bush President and just let him wear a crown instead. But well, I guess democracy was never meant to be.

Even if the US did go totalitarian, I hardly see the government searching Apolyton in order to convict people.





There are far easier ways of finding things out about people

Americans are very good at criticizing US presidents. Bush's rhetorical flubs has led to a reputation of stupidity that is made fun of constantly among commics. Of course, Clinton had has problems with oral sex and cigars. A good time was had by all.

I see nothing in any legislation or practice that is intended to change or limit our freedom of expression. I think we are looking for people or groups who do more than simply criticize, but take direct action to implement their view of the world - right or left or radically religious, who used to be called the fringe right, but I don't know the right term now that the extreme left supports them.

While I agree with the sentiment amongst many Americans who are worried about the way their government is heading, personally I think it a little extreme to stop using Apolyton.




Unless of course, Ming was secretly spying for them
