This line reminds me of people who believe everything of note is bled with conspiracy.

Every now and then I watch documentaries of other countries and have the girls watch it with me. They have the same questions as they do when watching movies that take place in other countries. "That's not real, right daddy?" They are surprised how little people can do and they were visibly disturbed watching a documentary on North Korea.

Afterwards I usually chime in with something similar to "Glad to be an American, huh?". Every time, it's a sharp nod indicating yes. And then I tell them that just because we have it better than most, doesn't mean we have to be okay with getting screwed over.

I prefer more freedom than safety. If we educate properly, I think we will be more safe than the government sanctions/rules/whatever could make us.

Your last paragraph, though, kinda negates all of that - potentially anyway, because it could all be gone in the blink of an eye, and there's not a thing you could do about it - if some kind of terrorist act occurred. Far fetched? Thankfully yes, but NOT impossible, especially if we let our guard down. The relevant question is: Exactly what freedoms that we cherish so much are we giving up or even lessening in order to protect the ones we love? My answer is virtually none - nothing - and I have challenged all of you who say "freedom first" to say what you think you would have to give up to have the Patriot Act, the TSA, whatever other little nuisances are there to protect us, and NOBODY has been able to cite anything! Oh yeah, a few lines, potentially some unwanted touching - that really ain't gonna happen in your wildest nightmares, etc. - a terrorist bomb in the airport is literally more likely than that.

I thought I would have issues with people snooping threw my emails, or phone calls, or what have you, but I really couldn't seem to careless. It's not as if those whom are stifling through actually know me on a daily basis for anything I say to be used against me in any shape or form.

I do worry it might get out of hand, like that boy who said something about shooting kids on Facebook and now he's in jail. Granted, I don't know all of the details so I'm quite ignorant on the topic, but I don't feel saying some words followed with "lol jk" merits jail time.

    dfosterf (21h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
    dfosterf (21h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
    dfosterf (21h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

    buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
    Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
    dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link
    dfosterf (26-Mar) : Kickoff rules officially changed.ngthy explan
    Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : lol

    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
    beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
    beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
    beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
    Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
    dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
