In the memorabilia I’ve kept for many, many years, there is a distorted slug. I think it’s .45 caliber, but it might be a little slower. Nearly 40 years ago, in 1969, that bullet flew past my head, with a message… yelled from a hundred yards away. “You can’t talk like that! This is America!” (I think I’d just finished singing a couple of verses of Country Joe McDonald’s “Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die Rag.”
Huh? If anything, in America we CAN talk like that. That’s what FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ALL ABOUT!
If you want to see something scary, Google the word “Freedom” sometime. The good part is great links to quotes from people like Dr. Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Rudy Guiliani… Then, then, then, then there are the flag adorned hate sites. The people who truly believe in their hearts that Freedom is something reserved for people who are light-skinned, who speak only English (maybe with a drawl).
Oh, well….
More on this one later. The medium makes it far too easy to rant. And none of us want to go there.
Peace, Love, Wow!
