Reply #16: remember that scene in F 9/11 where those peace group [View All]

members were harassed for some remark made in public? I don't recall the exact circumstances, I'm sure someone here remembers, but it was over some insignificant little remark.

as in this instance, as in the closing of the art exhibit in NY, the vice grips are tightening. even my principal was telling me that his son, being 20, does not realize that you have to 'be cautious in what you say'. All his kid is saying is that he won't fight in any war.

even my own family is getting caught up in this: i have a 'signature' line on my outgoing mail and my brother questioned me about all 'those political comments'. i told him that i was exercising my rights under the first amendment as long as they lasted. my husband blames me for 'brainwashing' our daughter who is in her late 20s and has a mind of her own. they HATE our having our own opinions!

it's the mccarthy era all over again. how soon before they start blacklisting? oh, wait. they already have.

we have our own reign of terror right here.
