Does it really need to be written in anywhere? That would work for me...I am all for mandatory military service. I think it would be an eye opener for a lot of people who take what we have for granted and make a bit more willing to fight for what we have.

You have no right to respect that's for damned sure. I believe in civics, and responsibility as personal choices, not something to be forced on the unwilling. Which is why I also believe you should have to "OPT IN" to get the vote, and the opt in process would be 2 years military service. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 9:17 AM To: cf-community Subject: RE: _Speaking_of_the_Supreme_Court:_Marine's_father_ord_ere d_to_pay_court_costs_to_Westboro_Baptist_Churc Well of course not...that wouldn't be adding to the grief of the family...that would be showing community support. Freedom also needs to be wielded responsibly and respect. This should not be legal. Period.

Their right to privacy is protected, in so far as the protesters are not allowed on the private property of the cemetery, but must remain off the property to carry their stupid signs. If these people were carrying signs that said "God bless your son for his service", you wouldn't be up in arms about it. My point is that it's not really their privacy that you are worried about, it's the type of speech. America and her freedoms are not easy. They were not obtained easily, and they are not defended easily. Our military protects our freedoms from armed assailants domestic and foreign, but we citizens are the last great defense of what our country really stands for......freedom. These assholes test us as citizens of a free country. Is our devotion to freedom of speech just rhetoric, or are we capable of passing the test and suffering those who would test the limits of our freedoms? Don't fail the test. -- Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
