no more freedom of speech?

Post by thegreatone2176 »

on anyone expressing free speech in a way deemed … well, "disruptive" to the event in question. The article then goes on to discuss what sorts of behavior this term "disruptor" could be used to control, based on what we already know about the Bush paradigms. It concludes that if this law is passed, it could mean wearing a controversial t-shirt, or sporting a bumpersticker on your vehicle, would be all that was required to make the average citizen a "political prisoner" in the clearest sense of those words.

outside of the act, yes Teller talks and is very intelligent. From what I remember, he the one behind most of their stunts/tricks/illusions.
