College Campus Freedoms in USA Revoked?
I was handing out Ron Paul info at the local community college today and met resistance from the administrators and police. One of the top administrators conceded that it was ok to do so outside, but not in the buildings. It seems common for the local entities to be pro-active in limiting liberties of citizens, which is very disconcerting for me, even more so is that people willfully accept the loss of once cherished rights (Free speech & press). It's bad enough (and completely unacceptable) that Virginia eliminates citizens' 2nd amdt rights on college campuses, that was probably the gateway to allow total suppression of the other rights as well? Some say college students are irresponsible and would mix guns and dinking or other dangerous behavior that would lead to more and severe endemic problems. I don't accept this, especially since inappropriate behavior in general is already illegal and should be the focus of correction, (not the tools used for it). Some people are so scared to see people expressing their rights. These cowards are supporting the slide towards a fascist police state dictatorship. Wasn't the Constitution written to prevent that though? To ensure tyranny by the masses didn't occur (as it did in Germany)? Isn't there supposed to be an American political Revolution every ten or so years to help maintain liberty? Many agree that we're due for a good and thorough political revolution and I think stripping the system down to the bare bones constitutional republic that was originally set up is a very goo start.
