Did you know that dihydrogen monoxide is a dangerous chemical that kills thousands of people each year? (Bear with me, this is relevant.) It's true. The substance DHMO kills many people and causes many problems. (Read here for details on this dangerous chemical.) Many people have read information like this and then come out in support of banning this chemical. Imagine their chagrin when they discover that dihydrogen monoxide is... water.
Today, we have something else in the same vein. Mark Dice created a video of him trying to get people to sign a petition urging the repeal of the first amendment... ostensibly to stop hate speech. AND PEOPLE SIGNED THE DANG THING!
If the video won't play, you can view it here:

Far too many people fell for this garbage, and Dice's point is well made. It is disturbing how many people will willingly throw away their rights if it gets them something they want.
Scary.

One of the few things that still make sme angry is the lack of respect for the Bill of Rights among the common citizenery. Now, one can differ in degrees, but to blatantly say, "Oh, WTF, who needs free speech" is ridiculous to me.
