Congress passed a bill outlawing the use of a camcorder in movie theaters (you can read the actual bill right here). Well, whats so bad about that? It should be illegal, right?

Sure. And so is stealing a DVD from Walmart. But you don’t necessarily go to jail for 3 to 10 years for it. An obviously bought law.

From a Slashdot thread:

It’s a sad day when you realize youre no longer internally proud of your own country.. that it’s abandoned its own values and is becoming a de facto police state.

What happened, guys??

And the answer:

1. Changing the meaning of “patriot” to someone who is behind his government no matter what.
2. Changing the definition of “democracy” to “the lesser of two evils”
3. Changing the meaning of any political group to be derogatory.
4. Labeling anyone who speaks out against the government to be either a traitor or freedom hating commie bastard (this relates to #1)

And that’s just the way it is.
