My recent news article on www.warrenpa.us regarding Rep. Kathy Rapp may have sounded a bit harsh to Rep. Kathy Rapp. I fully support what I wrote, though perhaps it was more for here & not the front page of Warren's biggest website (so I like to think anyways...)As a disclaimer, I'm hardly against Rapp. For the most part, she does good for Warren, and I'd like to think she has Warren's best intentions in mind. But to further what I wrote in that article, I do believe legislation such as what she's proposing slowly rips our sort of democracy apart, piece by piece. The more rights we take away from people we may see as different, the more rights will be taken away from us by people who think we're different.
If it was your own son or daughter, would you sign any legislation to limit their rights as individuals? Or how about one of your co-workers who may not be telling you the whole story about themselves? Perhaps it's the couple gentlemen or ladies sitting at the next table over at Perkins having a nice chat about the Google Censorship issue in China. Who's rights are you willing to take away merely by signing a petition?
Perhaps a friendly reminder to those who think American Democracy is the best thing after sliced bread, the Greeks are famed for coming up with the concept of democracy. For the most part, if the Ancient Greek society were here today, we'd probably label them a country full of gay pedophiles.
