I say we do away with the 1st amendment...

the whole fucking constitution is dead letter anyway.

Free speech zones...Oh oppressors, you minxes, being so sly and thinking you can trick us into letting out our frustrations in places where it does no fucking good at all.

Maybe we could send protestors to Mars, they could double as our first astronauts there, as well as getting them the fuck out of the way.

After all, if location has nothing to do with the impact of speech, it shouldn't matter where they are.

Maybe we should arrest them, and they could protest in jail, that way the politicians who belong in one can finally hear them when we send them there.



That's what we should do, but we don't have the gonads for that kind of shit anymore. Whipped doesn't begin to explain the state of America's population these days. Self-whipped does. Or maybe, "Thank you sir, may I have another."

I laugh, but only because I just don't want to stain my clothes with salty tears for the state of the nation.

You might have to make a right turn.
And you would run over protestors?
That says a lot.

Fuck democracy, fuck freedom of speech, I want to get to work a minute earlier!
And running over a protestor...now that's some fucking road rage.

I don't see why blocking traffic couldn't be a statement covered by Amendment No 1.

All the other ones were minor obstructions discarded in our march to the new soft fascism of modern America.

I know this thread is meant to be sarcastic/satirical but I still can't figure out what the real message is meant to be.
