The start of our country supposedly gave us freedom of speech.
But only if we were white.
We were free to speak our minds until the Civil War.
Many great people came about because they dared to speak their mind.
When I grew up in the 50's and 60's, we were told the Russians fed all their children propaganda about how evil we were.
Truth is, we were evil.
Now the evil liberal left wants to take away our freedoms starting with the right to bear arms.
If they win this one, our country may very well go into another civil war.
How far does freedom of speech go anyway.
It has always been part of private clubs.
They make rules and if you break them, they can throw you out.
Such rules are concessary to a certain degree.
The United States put citizens of Japanese descent into concentration camps during WW11.
This was for their own protection as well as keeping any of them from becoming spies.
The Moose club doesn't allow black people in their club.
Though the blacks won that in court, it is not a friendly environment for them.
This brings us down to this here forum.
Do I have freedom of speech to continue?
Rules are necessary to prevent people like me from causing trouble.
But in doing so, thy are restricting my right of freedom of speech.
But I don't have that right because it's a private club.
So nobody is wrong here by banning me from a certain forum for unnecessary language.
This is a clear example of what we can and cannot do on this forum.
It is putting into affect one of it's rules.
I guess you can say I understand the rules more than most people since I've been banned more times than I can count over the years.
It must kill stovebolts to ban me because he loves everyone.
But this goes along with owning the site.
In my defense I found it necessary to say what I did.
Then to have the person ignore me but answer me with different words to a different person upset me a bit.
Just a bit.
Though I suffer from anxiety, I may have been a bit out of line with my response.
So I accept the ban, and move on.
Happy Monday to all of you.
