What's that on Andy Levy's head?

I tend to agree with the guy (Bob Bow-Something at about 2:28; the right edge of the frame was cropped off on my computer) who said the biggest threat to free speech was apathy. That sounds pretty accurate. Folks won't notice if the right to free speech is eroded gradually, or they won't care, or worst of all, they might agree with the idea.

The biggest threat to free speech, the American people. We have the power, have always had the power and will continue to have the power so long as we don't continue to abdicate it to the federal government.

Some of the things I see on here, among other places, make me almost ill, but I'll defend to the death your right to say them.

Have you heard about this:

Al Sharpton: The FCC Should Regulate What Talk Radio Hosts Say

There are three sources that essentially are free speech havens: SiriusXM, Cable TV and the internet.

I have learned more about the U.S. Constitution from the internet, driven by SiriusXM's Patriot since March (when I got my new car) than I ever learned in school. And I graduated in 1985 before schools really dumbed down.

The government can kiss my ass if they think the majority will lie down to net neutrality and the rest.

The new proposal is a consumer anti-tracking law for the internet. No, I don't need it. Just download and install www.ghostery.com. You can then block the tracking easily.

The FCC is one agency that's ripe for a big budget cut. Actually, we should go back to the days of the Federal Radio Commission, where the agency's authority was restricted to the allocation of radio frequencies. If there ever was any rationale for the FCC to regulate broadcast content, the near-unlimited availability of new media bandwidth has destroyed it.

(Even frequency allocation may become unnecessary someday, as soon as the development of code modulation gets farther along. The technology isn't quite there yet -- maybe in another ten years.)

Its already developed -- the military has been using it for years as basic encryption. The release to the public is years away for the simple fact that it is basic encryption.

The government has problems "tapping" it. Some days it amazes me that they allow the sale of the cordless phones with in the 900 mhz range with encryption. But at the same time -- the government can tap the landline like they used to do with corded phones.

Let's string it together: the left managed to corner mass media and entrench PC cultural norms due to the public's passivity and lack of vigilance. This now leads to the next step - calls for government control.

And in particular:
Breitbart (political correctness) + McArdle (fear of thugs) = self-censoring PC Europe in our generation.

I love that the guy who represents a marijuana lobby looks stoned as hell.
