Good goals. I could get behind someone who had those as his goals.

I wonder if you realise how problematic that first freedom is. You accomplish more with your mouth shut. You can worship whoever you want if you keep your mouth shut, you can want whatever you want if you keep your mouth shut.

Whenever I hear "Freedom of Speech" I can help but picture those odd episodes I encounter almost daily when I go to the US, when some idiot is all proudly being a dick to some clerk or whoever because he has freedom of speech. Under the guise of "assertiveness" and "freedom of speech".

Also, because of freedom of speech, we have idiots like NP that think we must listen to what they have to say, because they have freedom of speech. And also of course because of pussy mods like TeeGee and Duk.
