you have nothing to fear

[G_j]

but to be on the safe side, avoid being a journalist who exposes something powerful people don't want exposed. Also, don't join, or in any way support Greenpeace or other environmental groups. Don't join or support groups like OWS. Don't actively oppose Monsanto or the Keystone pipeline.

1. Also, avoid discussing fracking. (nt)

2. Our democracy is not sick.

It's moribund.

I'm hoping they will soon put out a list of approved organizations so I know I'm not gonna get in trouble if I join something. You just can't be too careful.

5. Necrosis of Democracy.

Brought to you by the ones who will make out like bandits.

3. Freedom of speech.....

And all that.

4. REC!

6. Yes, we have arrived!

Sad that your OP seems to be accurate by what I'm learning.
Just don't add DU to that list!

7. Oh, don't worry

We're all screwn for posting here unless it's in our job description.

11. I'm feeling a little verklempt.

OK...I'm over it.

8. So how about you take all than angst and fear and work on getting the

legislation changed and work on the 2014 elections which will get you a more responsive Congress perhaps? I'm so sick of these handwringing and sighing threads where people just park with chattering teeth and no solutions or intentions of working towards solutions. Gotta plan? What are you doing besides ranting on an internet chatboard?

9. And I'm so sick of these posters telling us to change the world single-handedly...

but don't want us to talk about it while we do it.

[Skidmore]

12. I wonder if it occurs to people to communicate with others around

ideas to rectify a problem? To set up action steps attached to goals? A little cooperation would go just as far as a little listening would too. Too much talking past each other.

[last1standing]

13. I'll let post #10 answer that question.

Perhaps you should have asked that question before insinuating the OP was an armchair quarterback.
