Free speech rights for the ruling class ?

I hope the American news media, reflecting the views of Corporate America, soon recovers from this orchestrated fury over our latest villain of the week– the crackpot North Korean dictator.

Do we need the moral equivalent of the Cuban missile crisis over a silly Hollywood movie? The greatest threat to working class citizens' "right to express themselves" is private ownership of the PUBLIC OPINION INDUSTRY.

And do we so quickly forget yesterday's headline on the CIA prisoner torture atrocity? That was indeed "outside the boundary of acceptable state behavior."

Our silly Supreme Court has declared that corporations are people too. So should we send ACLU to the United Nations? FREE SPEECH RIGHTS FOR THE AMERICAN PLUTOCRACY. What a glorious cause.

Oh, only if I were young enough ( and stupid enough ) to join the United States Marines. Send me on a parachute over the presidential palace in North Korea. But with a ton of LSD as a weapon of mass destruction!
