Fascism at its' best

[anysia]

A man walked up to Dick Cheney, calmly told him he thought his Iraq policy was reprehensible, and walked away. A few minutes later he was arrested by the Secret Service, in front of his 8-year-old son, for “assault”.

When he asked what would happen to his child, the Secret Service said, “He can be sent to Child Services.” Luckily, the boy found his mother and was safe.

But the citizen who practiced his free speech spent a few hours in jail before he was released.

Wow.... What next? Sedition laws?

I don't see why not. We have them here already.

Bill of Rights in the US, world of difference

[anysia.livejournal.com]

The big difference is here in Australia is you have no 'rights' (comparing constitution and bill of rights to the laws here), they are called 'privileges', and if you are an errant child by government decree or standards, your privileges can be revoked.

The Bush administration is monkey stomping all over the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and constitutional laws.
