Do you know what I find funny? You have a good point here, yes? (I think so, at least.)
I don't know whether you live in the States or not, but it appears that if you go around pointing out stuff like this, you're more or less boo'd-and-hissed down. I'm wondering what happened to freedom of speech and freedom of opinion.

Anyways, don't mind me, I'm a random wanderer.

I think freedom of speech and freedom of opinion were killed with the Patriot Act ;)

and yes, I'm from the States

Quite likely. Gah. I would say that I'm glad I live in Canada, only we're being pressured by the US Government to go along with whatever they say-- more or less.

Depends on where you live in the States. As a resident of Los Angeles, nigh onto Hollywood, I'm pretty sure I'd be pretty safe in most cases, or even get enthusiastic agreement.

And, anyway, if someone boos and hisses you, they're exercising their freedom of speech and opinion. As long as they don't lynch you....

That's true.

That's true-- even people who disagree with your point of view still get to have freedom of speech. I think the point is, I've have seen/heard of a lot of cases where people aren't just boo'd and hissed at for expressing their quoteunquote 'unpatriotic' opinion...
