> This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
REPLY: No better way to say it .. this is my SUMMARY version
We have the freedom of speech .. we NEED freedom FROM speech.
We have a right to be HEARD .. not the right to HAVE OUR OWN WAY.
We have the right to EARN a living .. we do NOT have a right to comfort.
You have the right to live YOUR life as you want .. NOT the right to make me live MY LIFE the way you want me to !!
If people worried as much about how they affect others as they do about how others affect them .. the idea behind DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE TO YOU just might prove it's value .. ya think ??
