Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma!
By Chip Robson
It is a sad, sad world in which the people of the MOST FREE
NATION in
the world find themselves in the position not unlike that of the
æPuritansÆ of England which first settled this great country of
ours.
These people were ostracized for their beliefs. They were
persecuted
and ridiculed. For that, they sought freer lives abroad, only to
find
themselves on the soils now known as The United States of
America.
Here they were content to live their lives as they chose...in
FREEDOM!
As time went by, our founding parents found themselves creating
the
doctrines by which every American now lives: The Constitution and
the
Bill of Rights of the United States of America. One of these
rights is
the Freedom of Speech.
The Internet has been around for decades and has survived in all
its
glory. Now it seems that æother peopleÆ choose to partake of the
opportunities that The Net has to offer and, as such, find the
need to
govern what has existed in peace for so long (Thank you very
much!).
One would THINK, in this day and age, that MOST parents would
have
control over their children to the point that they could keep
them from
reaching the realms of where they are not welcome. They should
think
in terms of controlling their children rather than attempting to
control
The Net.. If children are found pursuing such devices as to
enlighten
their sexual awarenesses .-. where are the parents?
As with the trend to sit your child down in front of the
television cum
(that's Latin!) baby-sitter, then obviously, they have not the
wherewithal to keep them in CHECK and survey their activities
AWAY from
realms they need not be a part of. The parents should not be
always
looking for that proverbial baby-sitter, in this case, the
government of
the United States of America. It is time for parents to take the
stance
which they have long abandoned...being parents! Has parenthood
gone the
way of the model T?
As with the 'Indians' (Native Americans) here we are again,
coming in as
newcomers, not liking what we see and changing it! (or, as
history
repeats itself, taking it away!)
What gives YOU the right? We have been residing here fair and
well
without you. Now you cometh, now you taketh away! Just like
Manhattan!
If you liketh not what you behold - begone with you! Turn the
channel!
This country was made up of people who wanted to exercise their
rights
to be the people they wanted to be.
The Bill of Rights was composed to protect those people AND their
rights. What gives YOU the right to chastise me? What have I ever
done
to you. I have a right that YOU are impeding on! Perhaps YOUR
right
to be 'holier than thou' should be taken away. Then maybe you
would
understand!
God bless America! (or is it the Indies? Columbus? Are you
there?)
