i'm proud to live in america...but slowly i am finding the new policies unbelieveable and unconstitutional. It's amazing how many loopholes there are in the broad letters of our freedoms


...
a family was sleeping in the night. A burglar sneaked in. the father woke up, found the buglar and pointed a gun at him as he made the call to the police. The burglar went to jail. the father went to jail for not having a liscense for the gun.

INJUSTICE!

The states is rapidly loosing it personal freedoms. Its really horrible and scary especially as im moving there very soon.

It's almost too late. By a vote of 400 to 25 in the House of Reps. they are moving closer to approving this scarey bill. Check out all the bad news....here here and here . Once people see all the shit that has been added on, they will start bitching to their congressmen and state representatives.

Don't freak out quite yet, it's really not that bad! My state senator was one of the leaders for the original RAVE Act so he has received many e-mails from me pertaining to my disgust in the manner. I agree with the earlier comment about rap/hip hop concerts, and while they're at it why not outlaw Grateful Dead concerts? Fact is drug use can be found at just about any concert so why choose one genre (our genre) to pick on? It's total bullshit, it's so vague that it can cover just about anything. I like the idea of bouncers searching people if it comes to that, it's just like the heightened security at airports nowadays. It would be a minor inconvenience but I'd sure as hell deal with it if it meant the government left us alone so we could enjoy our music. If a lot of us complain about it then we could make a difference in the voting for such acts so I encourage everyone to do so.

yes, it is unfortunate how few people are realizing that. Many people in the USA think that they live in the 'most free' nation of the world, while i would say that -from personal experience- that some european countries have more personal freedoms than the USA.

NOTE: I find this SAD. That implies, that I would like the USA to have as many freedoms as it used to have, since that is the way it should be, because the USA have been founded on principles of personal freedom. I am not trying to judge americans here, i am judging the US governments' rules and regulations.

yeah, it's called a rider
one of the many things completely retarded about our congress
you can tack on something to a popular bill that has absolutley nothing to do with it so your chances of getting it passed increase a hell of a lot.
One time I saw 3 completely different issues tacked onto the same bill: cloning, alaskan oil-drilling, and terrorism....wtf?!

Take a trip... there's acid in my fridge...

Its passes as an american i think that the US needs some serious governmental reform. actually i think it needs alot more than that but lets not get into that now. just remember not to vote republican

I am proud to be an American, but introducing these iniquitous acts is not the way to go. What does it mean to be an American today? Our freedoms that we fought for throughout the years are being limited. Freedom and control is a contradiction in itself, but the government doesn’t see it that way. They need to set their focus more on violence, which in fact, the United States is driven and affected by. Concerts, clubs, and other social events don't pose, if at any, serious threat to this nation. How is passing these acts justified? Your telling me that I am not allowed to party even though I am a free man? I see a semi-massive movement coming, not only from the electronic culture, but from other cultures as well. Everyone will be affected and a lot of money is going to be lost by everyone evolved. This could have an enormous impact.
