[LIBERTARIAN JOE]

I post because they have something to say which at least some freepers might want to hear

This on wants to hear, and thanks you for posting it!

I like to hear all points of view. This is one of the benefits of living in a country where we still can. As far as refuting most of the concerns of people that are worried about the loss of our liberties, I can't in good conscience, say they are wrong.

I see more encroachment on our freedoms all the time. This has been an incremental thing, similar to the advances made by socialism.

The thing that worries me most, though, is the self-inflicted censorship that a lot of people do in the form of criticism without questioning facts or arguments to support their criticism.

The chicken herd mentality that has given us hate crime legislation and regulations against profiling has had its effect on our entire population.

I commend you, Ada, for any article you wish to bring and support the concept of: You provide, I'll decide.
