In this country we are "supposed to be allowed" to speak our minds. You should not be tazered - just because you are difficult or obnoxious. Fact is - the beauty of this country is our ability to say "whatever" and make others uncomfortable as long as that speech does not bring harm onto them.
These two incidents(see below)demonstrate how far our country has fallen. There was a time when citizens of this country understood the complexities of being American/Human. But now, after 9/11 and the Bush administration's focus on fear - everyone is looking to be led, schooled and brainwashed.
Seriously - i am not a reactionary but we have crossed a line. These videos are only a tame visual representation of the American Publics loss of freedom.
The Reverand and the questioning student's only weapon was a book in hand...
The Government is creeping into our bedrooms and bathrooms (Larry Craig!).
It really has to stop.
The bland argument of "I don't care if they listen to my phone calls as I have nothing to hide" is a short thinking slippery slope...
The Congress is actually in talks debating Habeus Corpus and the justification of torture. WHAT? General Petraus sits there and tows the political line and we go along with it. Bush gives his "keep up the surge" speech and we go along with it -it is all lies.
Lies that are killing young men and women of both our country and Irag.
When will it stop? The middle class is dying, foreclosures and bankruptcy are rampant and the percentage of those with no health care has risen...
The answer - not sure but maybe...
President: John Edwards
Vice President: Barak Obama
Secretary of State: Hilary Clinton
I was brought up to believe this country was forward thinking and respected history but now I see a country that loves segregation, unlawful searches and the integration of church and state.
NOW is the time to write or call your politician and scream, yell and make them uncomfortable. This is not the time to be nice.
You can be fair and adamant. Lean toward adamant

You were on point with the call of Hillary as SOS. Massive props. As for the other two predictions, who knew?
