Govenment Censoring the Internet


I ████████ can’t ████████ understand ████████ your ████████ accent ████████████████████████████████



If we let the government censor the internet, what's going to be next? The right of free speech? The right of bearing arms? The right of religious freedom? Our government has strayed so far away from what our founding fathers created this country on. But we should have expected it with the church and state separation. When the pledge didn't end with Amen anymore. When gun control got stricter. We've had warning signs Americans, we've just failed to do anything about it and now my dear Americans, you're making a world that I can't change when I can vote. You're making a world where I'll be telling my kids "I remember the time when this country was a free land". You better change it now before the government takes all of your voice. As a famous man once said, "And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent." and this same man also said "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

Jill


Jill E. (jill-eeeeee) as I called you once I figured out your middle inital. You were amazing. You touched so many hearts including mine. You grew my love of the arts. You made me into a better singer and actor. You were there to listen when AJ first asked me out, to when I broke up with AJ, and when he finally broke up with me. You were there the night my house got an offer. It was a Tuesday night, choir night. I had to leave the choir room once because I just couldn't handle it. Then after choir, I cried on your shoulder for 30 minutes about how unfair life is and how I didn't want to leave Durham and how I didn't want to move to Massachusetts. But you told me that MA isn't that bad, and if it was you would adopt me :)

You're my second mother, always will be. You started a list of second mothers that is now 8 deep. But you will always be the first and no one can ever change that. Your memorable quotes, like "That was possibly not horrible at all" I will always remember, especially when I'm practicing a new song.

May heaven have an endless supply of peeps, an organ, and your favorite sheet music and we will meet again, when the time is right. I promise. I know this is of your doing, so I'll thank you too. Thank you for having baby Hunter enter the world as a perfect precious baby boy.

May you rest in peace Jill Riggles ♥
