It is very frustrating! There is a sign that reads, " if voting could change things, it would be illegal. " It may be irrelevant here, but it shows how impotent we are to make any real changes in this country. Once freedom is dampened in one small way, the whole idea of freedom is in question. That was lyrics to a song you liked, what about the next book you read, or the next movie you see, or art gallery/ museum you visit? How long before everything we do, see, hear, think and read is censored and changed to what one small group of people think is acceptable? What one person finds morally reprehensible, the next person finds morally acceptable.
Yeah, it's completely ridiculous. You guys pretty much summarized it all up already, and have excellent points.
