O' For a Thousand Tongues to Scream

So this is funny... I decided to get into this game on the side because I've got tape over my mouth. However, nothing's wrong with my fingers. Apparently that annoys some people. It's so very hard to have an honest discourse with someone, who may actually have some good ideas in their noodle, if they only eat Hypocrisy Oats for breakfast in the morning. So, here I am, at the keyboard, in what brief time I have to be, givine my two cents and yes, there will be times when it's my middle finger to the nation that has since silenced the voice of the people and pumped the voice of the media. However, let me point out to you folks with your nice suits and your desks, the government doesn't care about you either. When your party isn't in power, you'll be laughed at by the masses. Then, the day when come when the situation will turn itself around.

This is what we've made with our hands over the past two hundred + years. The concept of our forebearers was fantastic, but when you add a little money, coruption, greed, double dealing and lies to the potion, well you get now. You guys, and I mean everybody who has a voice of power, keep stirring that pot. It is abominable and actually quite sadistic to point a finger to us, the people who just want to say a few words, because we actually don't have a voice otherwise, and criticize. When I get a three figure salary, a groovy desk, and high-tec camera gear, then, yell at me. However, for now, let the people speak. That's the foundation upon which this nation was built, and may whatever deity you like have mercy on your soul should you try and take that from us.

If you're afraid of the things people say, you shouldn't. Public discourse is part of human prosperity. Also, fear causes hysteria, and it is more likely to come from your end, considering that you have power. If you are injured by words, join the club. Start listening without judgement, because you don't have that right. The rights we have are the inalienable rights, and casting aspersions upon other people who want their inalienable rights, which includes free speach, which would necessarily include being heard, is a pile of... you get the idea.

The continuance of such behavior leads nowhere but to downfall. Either the masses will rise or the powerful will bring wrath upon them beforehand. History tells us this story again and again. Hatred is at a boiling point, and by limiting the conversation to your voice over the airwaves, acusatory, inflamatory, and litered with "hate-speech" as you term it, you almost literally put the lid on the pot. The explosion of either violence or alienation will be so drastic that it will divide this country, and if you truly are the Americans that you claim, this should be completely antithetical to your ambitions and ideas. To force people to sit down, be silent and listen is a violent act of oppression which always culminates in rebellion, and the tide of discontent and even malcontent towards the media is growing, not just towards the news, but towards all media.

One thing that America has learned over the last eight years is that picking one's battles is critical to survival. Were I you, I would pick another battle. To fight against public discourse, now that it has risen in a medium that cannot be controlled (there are programs available for even the most oppressed nations to access the whole of the net), is a loosing battle. To tell an American that they should not "talk like that," that they are "wrong for saying such things," when in fact, they are critiquing a system that is broken and needs repair, when, in fact it is their right and job, to explore options to present for such (this is the reason for public discourse) restoration of this country, then you have not only lost, but stirred the proverbial hornets' nest. You will be stung, multiple times. Again, to whatever deity help you should you disturb the Queen.
