An Abomination, An Outrage, A Very Special Site

It's not every day, or in every country that the political leaders are mocked the way they are in the United States. Freedom of speech certainly has been used and abused by the people of this country more than ever in the last ten years, and as we enter the 21st century, is this "freedom" getting out of control? To answer that question, I quote the Butabi Brothers: "No....YES!!"

Look, the differences between our country and others when it comes to slurring high ranking politicians are STAGGERING. I mean, which one of us hasn't at one point said something degrading about our president or our country? However think if we were living in, say Cuba? The people there FEAR the powers that be! They don't dare make comments about how Castro looks like a combination of Charlie Chaplin and a Quaker! They are just thankful that they get their 6 sunflower seed shells for supper and that just MAYBE they won't be forced to go into the woods buck naked and catch the twelve legged armadillo that they will be beaten with. The people of this country have become soft, spoiled by years of television, instant gratification, the internet, and by the infamous post-it note. How long will this go on?? The answer is unclear, but as long as we can pretty much do whatever we want, check out this nifty site.
