Home of the free?

America is controlled, watched, and regulated to a degree  unimaginable in 1960.
Speakers on subways admonish us to watch other passengers for suspicious behavior. We dance barefoot in airports. Cameras read our license plates and mail us tickets. Freedom of speech? Say anything interpretable as a “racial slur” and you lose your job. Truth has nothing to do with it. You are a reporter? Criticize Israel and you lose your job. Offend the proliferating sexual curiosities and you lose your job. Surveillance cameras are everywhere. Freedom of religion? Overt Christianity is almost illegal. Wimp Nation: Poised to Fall

Your Say

OK Fred....whoever lost their job for criticizing Israel? Seems more like a job enhancement these days.

Fred, a good friend and a good man, has this obstinate, distorted expatriate's notion about Israel that does not conform with current realities. Be like a judge and ask the jury to disregard that comment and focus on the others.

The 2 previous respondents make Fred's point.
And they don't even realize it.

Lesson for the day:
"Turn off the fukking TV, it numbs your stupid ass to the insanity all around you." When you become complacent you are less attentive, and victim worthy.

Wow, the Israel first traitors are big on this place.

Dear ghostsniper, I NEVER EVER watch tv. OK?
