   So how many people ahve been arrested solely for voicing thier opinions, in
a public forum.  Like this one?  JMS and other here like yourself seem to be
home and not under any constraint.
  When you and JMS cannot criticise the government, even with an offhanded
comment, let me know.
  Until then, you have no idea what it is to live in a police state.  Your
statements above show that.

So in other words, one should not seek to criticize the government until and
unless it personally comes to knock on *your* door?  That is *has* happened to
others is, in your mind, irrelevant...as long as you and I are okay, screw
everybody else and just shut up, right?

Sorry, I was raised in an America that said we have to watch out for each
*other*, not just ourselves.
