4. True. But that's always the answer given.

"You can always go somewhere else if you don't like it." Well, eventually, that "somewhere else" becomes a pen. Since the '60's, I've watched the right to protest be gradually eroded by that same logic. Now a permit is required to protest and if granted, the location is out of sight and barely in audible range.

Hearing the same "if you don't like the rules, go somewhere else" comment come from the intellectual descendants of the liberals of the '60s is truly disheartening.

Maybe the difference between an old liberal and a young liberal is vaster than I imagined.

Oh well.
