Exactly. It just seems that little by little the government is chipping away at our individual rights and freedoms. Sneak and peek searches for example. How in the hell can you get away with declaring the fourth amendment null and void
without the American public making a sound? Refusing to supply the morning after pill because it would 'promote promiscuity'? When the fuck did promiscuity become illegal? When Viagra can be ordered over the internet, if you have the know how? What about the FCC? No one votes for membership of the FCC; American citizens have no choice in the matter and Family First makes 99% of the complaints the FCC attends to.
What pisses me off isn't just the people who are making these asinine laws and statements; it's the American people who aren't doing a thing about it. Don't even care.
The day you don't give a shit about the rights of your fellow Americans is the day you don't give a shit about your own rights.
