please tell me your joking?

I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to associate freedom with censorship?

Orwell strikes again!

"I'm not criticising American ideals or the American people, but this kind of behaviour is made possible by unregulated free-market capitalism."

No my friend its not. I seriously doubt *anyone* wishes to be told what they can or can't say or do. And considering a true free market is regulated by peoples wishes, and their wishes are to not be censored, you'd be *very* hard pushed to suggest this is a result of a free market.

What we have now is nothing but heavily regulated, deeply dysfunctional *corporatism*.

I'll give it a go,

"Caution; answering "no" to any of the following questions may reveal that it's you who has been brainwashed into denying what is right in front of you... "

Really, so you are expecting everyone to assume the only alternative to what the state has set up are the options you provide? sorry, but thinking people will not do that.

"Do you really think a public sewerage system is worse than emptying your bedpan on the street? "

No, but why are you suggesting we would not have a public sewage system if it was not provided by the state. What generally happens when a problem arises that people want to solve is that they create what is necessary to solve it. Thats to say, if a city of people do not want to be knee deep in ass dirt, they would say "hey, I have an idea, why don't we create an infrastructure that takes ass dirt from here to somewhere else.
Are you suggesting both you and everyone else are incapable of cooperation and organisation?

"Do you really think chlorinated water is worse than cholera and dysentery? "

No, but why are you suggesting that nasty diseases are the only alternative to chlorinated water? Surely you have heard of Ozone disinfection, which has been shown time and again to be more effective than Chlorination without the side effect of dangerous chemicals. Its also widely used in Europe (EUSSR).

"Do you really think crossing a public bridge is worse than travelling 200miles out of your way to ford a river?"

No, but again, why are you suggesting the only alternative to State built bridges is to walk 200 miles? If there werenâ(TM)t so many legal encumbrances stopping people, perhaps there would be many more bridges then the State toll ones provided currently.

"Disclaimer: I have been homeless but I've never been so mindless as to take government mandated 'luxuries' for granted."

Did the state force you out of your house for a private bank because you could not pay the extortionate interest?

Your middle of the road interpretation of historical events is - not middle of the road at all.

Things have been getting worse for quite a while now. possibly since the inception of the federal reserve and all that came with it. However, things have gotten to a point now where they are noticeably bad in a global sense.

Thats to say, the world economy (on the dollar reserve) has grown weaker exponentially against physical goods. Its now at a point where people will really start to struggle to buy food. I believe 20% of Americans are now completely reliant on food stamps, right?

Or how about the inescapable realisation that America is now partaking in multiple "wars" (they should be referred to as invasions). And are now killing millions of people either directly or indirectly with military engagement or economic sanctions. As opposed to only one at a time before the 2000's.

Or, the fact that prohibitive laws are shot through congress at an ever increasing rate. So fast it seems, they no longer have the time to read them (a very well know trick of the once mighty USSR, and one that has also been adopted by the EU or, as I like to refer to it, the EUSSR).

But more important then any of the above realisations is this:

Just because the political class is doing it, IT DOES NOT MEAN ITS GOOD, CORRECT, MORALLY SOUND, FINE OR DANDY. It just means its happening.

And make no mistake, IT IS SHIT! so we need to stop it, right?

who thought that the slippery slope argument had no merit,

Pricks!

What is left out of law is MUCH MORE important then what is put in.

The words "affect existing law" does not in anyway shape or form stop them ADDING to current supposed "laws", as ADDING to something does NOT have to affect the something you are adding to. And this is exactly what they have done here -ADDED TO EXISTING "LAWS".

with

"(d) CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this section is intended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force."

what they suggest with this construct is neutral. However, notice again that it also does nothing to prohibit the use of millitary force. Thats to say, what was left out is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT then what was put in.

I wish people would first think before they post about such important infromation.
