    the results of restricting freedoms- be careful of what you wish for

    http://www.12newsnow.com/story/16520...over-mcdonalds

    i personally do not eat at mcdonalds. but i do not think we should ban mcdonalds simply because they have over priced unhealthy food. nor do i think we should selectively determine who can eat at mcdonalds.

    if you like a really good hunk of steak fresh off the grill, be prepared to do without. all it takes is one law.

    STOP SOPA & PIPA
    HR3261 & S968

    these two will hit a bit closer to all of the forum members. if these laws pass, every internet connection will be subject to termination at the will of those who are deemed the proper authorities. going to be tough to have a forum if the connection is denied. although there are many who claim it is simply poetic justice. i would consider it to be ironic.



    while i do not believe that any of these actions will survive and actually be passed into law at this time. it is the idea that one group believes they can determine, actually believe they have the right to determine, a definition of freedom based on vague, ambiguous and fluid personal ideals or beliefs.

    when you advocate the restriction of any freedoms for any individual, you are advocating the restriction of your own freedom.

    the person you force into oppression today may well be the very person who comes for you tomorrow.

    be careful what you wish for.
