Yeah, well don't expect me to get too worked up. All these people whining that the First Amendment is dead are still able to say, write and print whatever they want. If their concerns were even remotely real, they wouldn't even be able to voice these concerns.

BTW the best way to take away someone's rights, is little by very little, not all at once.

That's why it's often referred to as a Frog Boil.

(For those not familiar with the practice of frog boiling: what you do is put the frogs in a pot filled with room-temperature water. They won't put up a fight. Then you put the pot on a fire and gradually raise the heat. The frogs won't notice and still won't put up a fight. Soon enough, the water temperature will rise to a fatal level for the frogs. Because the temperature increases are so gradual, the frogs never notice...until it's too late. Then the frogs are dead and never know what hit them.)
