With rights come responsibility
Our freedom of speech means nothing if we don't exercise it. It's like that exercise bike that sits in the spare room unused. Sure we have it... but what's the point if we don't get on and peddle regularly? The bike cost us a few bucks to purchase... so it's a small loss if it's not used. Our freedom of speech cost lives! If we don't discuss and share our thoughts on the issues that affect us, we will have to settle for whatever choices are made FOR us. I would rather have a say in how those choices are made so they're more apt to be ones that work FOR me.
I have built an active news/politics forum where I work. We discuss issues that affect the lives of our families. We can easily do the same here. I know some avoid these topics because of the confrontation that often results. For them, I want to share the wisdom my Dad instilled in us. "If you don't vote or know what's going on, don't complain either."
