No one is asking you to be quiet. You can shout, holler, and gesticulate all you want. You can be far more outrageous than they. You can call them every name in the book (and nothing you call them would probably make a patch on the truth). But cannot abrogate their right to speak. And you can't break the law, and then think you are justified because of what they say.

If I break the law, I expect to pay the price. I don't need you to lecture me about the law and my own conscience. What these protesters and their Vietnam era counterparts engage(d) in is not what our founding fathers envisioned nearly 230 years ago. The fact that my generation's leaders did not have the courage to fully prosecute the war in Vietnam and crush the communists is what caused this whole mess we're in now. The dissent I am hearing and seeing is reminiscent of the '60s and it is wrong. Unfortunately, the genie was loosed from the bottle during the late '60s and I don't think we will ever be able to coax it back in.

You may want to invest in a grammar/spell checker. Wading through your drivel is difficult enough without all the errors.

Um, I'm sorry, but I failed to find a single spelling error in what I just wrote. It is easy to make a misspelling occasionally, of course, but I think perhaps it is simply that some of the words are unfamiliar to you.

Perhaps you can invest in a thesaurus.

Could you enlighten us as to exactly what they were thinking 230 years ago? My mind-reading abilities don't go back that far. And I have yet to find the part where they authorized running over somebody with a truck because they were protesting after the fighting started. Maybe it's hidden in one of those pesky amendments?
