Tell me again, why, if we aren't doing anything wrong, we have nothing to worry about?

Or if we aren't saying things on the internet or cell phones that might make the Government uncomfortable, we have nothing to worry about?

Or, if we aren't wearing clothes that provoke a sexual assault, we have nothing to worry about, why is that?

Or, if we aren't a black kid walking around making a white person uncomfortable, we have nothing to worry about?

And, why shouldn't we worry about the Government spying on the press?

Now, tell me again why the Patriot Act makes us safe?

And as police departments buy up military assault weapons and armored vehicles, why nothing to worry about?

And, one more time, why is it that we must blindly trust our political leaders and never protest or challenge authority?

Why do these ideas make such logical sense to you?

Because, I just don't fucking get it and think it's about time we start worrying about you.

And those quotes certainly meet the criteria. As a side note you see why politicians don't want an educated populace: they don't want voters who can think.
Welcome aboard DU. Stay awhile!
