Which is why the common citizen should stop buying shit from corporations that are oppressing them.

While the news is clearly disgusting, leaving the country because you don't like it seems like the easy way out.
If everyone who was offended by loss of liberty left the US, who would be left?
Just a bunch of Gingrich or Romney supporters, who reminisce back to the lovely days of Bush or Reagan.
The righteous thing to do is to stay put, and to fight (I mean this in a non-violent way) for freedom.
It just takes a solid majority to demand change, and change will come.
To quote John Lennon (and Yoko Ono):
WAR IS OVER
if you want it.
I remember seeing some shit about Monsanto (or Dow) about how they destroyed the life of the one remaining farmer that grew organic, in a certain town. Every farm plot surrounding his had Monsanto/Dow crops growing on it, the companies sent a team of investigators to his farm, and simply waited for a single seed to fly in the air off some of their crops onto his land, they took him to court and buried him.
The most unsettling thing was that even before the court case, they had all his financial records going back like 20 years.
Just want to point out that the link for your article takes me to a page about the Miami Heat or something. I was going to send this to a friend but was like wtf when I clicked the link lol, then noticed it says "....com/sports/....." right in your post.![]()
Your right, I'll admit I am both frustrated and afraid. I have my own family turning their back on me because I post CopBlock stuff on my facebook on a regular basis. I am definitely going to try to move out to california after I graduate college and have a good job secured. The cost of living is just so cheap in the south
I want to fight but I also don't want to be taken out as a dissenter. I've heard that in China, the secret police will come and take people if they are discovered through various means to be against the government.
I guess my point is that I don't want to be trapped here if it gets so bad that nobody can leave...like North Korea for example.
