I grew up where free speech was lauded and showcased at the wonderful open-air park forum called BUGHOUSE SQUARE in Chicago. ANYONE who had a point of view got up on a real soapbox and laid it all out for all to see and hear.

That is all this is----it's an updating of the old Bughouse Square--a great amalgum of digitized ideas containing truth as well as infamy. To stifle the new discourse with the corrupt power of our legal system where the cash to sue decides who will be heard and who can intimidate the other best----where O.J. walks and coffee-burnt litigants make millions----------well, it is simply a travesty that points up the need, possibly, for those with the energy and will to act (the youth of this mod age) to act to eradicate these and other corpoate excesses and outright thievery like at the New York Stock Exchange this week somehow---and possibly-- any way they can. It is about power. And if power is the extent to which you can inconvenience others, as I have heard it defined, I prefer by far the spin put on things by liars like Franken as opposed to the liars like Limbaugh and the present administration.
