I was leaving my political science class today, and my professor – NH State representative Charles Weed – had commented on his frustrations with a one Barack Obama. This sparked a conversation that, as we walked, got quite heated as it ran the gamut from national socialism to the legitimacy of a social contract which he seemed to suggest was not only acknowledged by using the roads, but that that act became my signature on it.

It has empowered and enabled the kinds of dictators around the world that it itself claims to protect us from.

It brought up some very good points about how we communicate our ideas. The videos of Lauren embedded with that entry get quite a lot of views and some of the YouTube comments responding to the videos make it clear that many people just don’t get it. Obviously she’s trying to make a powerful statement with her actions and it’s important that people get the message.
