If the speech, whether in writing or by the spoken word, does not threaten the national security of the United States, it should not be censored.
I wonder what the percentage of posters that are demanding that we follow our country into battle with blind faith and without questioning what actions are to be taken is that live in rural America compared to those living in large urban areas. I live in Chicago where I both dwell and work in the shadows of the Sears Tower and John Hancock Building. Everybody that I've talked to here is very concerned about exactly what the course of actions America will now take will be. While we are directly on the front lines of this so-called war, there seems to a lot of people living on some dirt road in the middle of Nowhere, Texas or Potato, Idaho that are willing to fight this war to the last Chicagoan.
Well I'm sorry and they can call me a "traitor" or "terrorist sympathizer" all they want but it's not their butts that are at stake here. I want to know exactly what kind of plans and acts of retribution are being concocted in my name. If I see George Bush, or Al Gore, or even Mickey Mouse planning on making some really stupid move I'm going to speak out. Not only will I speak out, but every single Chicagoan I've spoken to feels the same way.
I'm not saying that all the freepers that live in rural areas of America are subscribing to this sheep-like "you're either with us or against us" mentality, but as I look at the locations of the people that flame me for having a few questions, I notice that invariably they are from some location that is as likely to be attacked as Bin Laden's barbershop.
