what's the point of protesting if you're in a cage? people are so ignorant to the views of others.

I was having an interesting conversation today with a chick

x divide by x :the government is supposedly PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM to go to war, they are supposedly PROTECTING OUR FREEDOM, when they setup barricades around protestors.. when they wiretap people.. refuse lawyers to suspected terrorists.. go through medical records.. taking away our rights to solidarity.. to privacy.. to due process.. etc.
x divide by x : people don't understand that the protectors of freedom are the ones that are destroying it

welll it was more like me ranting but hey whatever

It's really all about the DNC being super protected. When I worked for ABC setting up video, they had closed off about 75% of Boston's roads, shut down 2 train stations, and everyone nearby had to have "credentials" to get anywhere near the Fleet.

And it's hardly a lack of people using their freedoms, or people trying to smother them. From all the newscasts I've seen, they've given them a postive spin, saying stuff like "This is how it should be, nice, peaceful protests."

I don't see any real problem. Guess you have to be there to understand.

We shouldn't settle for the lesser evil. We should change things until they are right.

Of course, but that wouldn't be prudent in this situatuion. Especially because Unions are working. That means the least work will be done in the most time. I've seen it!
