khchris(OG)... you have people trolling you, because they do it in hopes of possibly assisting you in removing yr head from yr ass.
when thurston and i first launched protest-records, do you know how many amazing letters i received via the site from people in the military (with .mil addresses) telling me how bad things were and how grateful they were that we were encouraging dissent? i'm looking at them now. there are 83 that i saved and these are just on my laptop. there are more at my studio. that may not sound like a lot, but it meant a lot to me to get support and reassurance from soldiers actually fighting these ludicrous wars that i'm so heartily in disagreement with.
you also fail to see that if there's one group of people in society who should be absolutely held to the letter of the law, it's those whose job it is to enforce the law. when they break the very laws that it's their duty to enforce, they do a disservice to the concept of law. so don't make this about, "oh well we all speed or fudge our taxes." that's a bullshit penny-ante rationalization that has nothing to do with the point i was making. the law cannot break or selectively abide by the law--end of story.
i have a good life because i work my ass off. that has nothing to do with america. i'd work my ass off anywhere and make just as good a life for myself or i'd fucking move somewhere where i could work harder and give myself the life i envisioned myself having. if immigrants want to come here to work, they should. i support that 100%.
what i don't support is people in authority using their authority to frighten societies into submission. i'm still completely surprised that you seem to think that's ok.
on a smaller scale this is tantamount to me saying, "if you pipe up again in this thread, i'll disable yr account and ban yr IP address and email address. people the board over will rejoice in yr banishment."
you agree that i should be allowed to avail myself of such decisions because of a personal disagreement in ideology?
say yes and i'll happily conduct a little experiment with you.
