You F.L.: Of course you are right. These are different times. But given the governemnt's ability to make one's life purdy danged miserable these days, it does take courage to go out there and possibly risk everything obe has worked a life time to have, including one's freedom.
There has been legislation introduced in Oregon to make it a felony if a demonstrator interfers with commerace, government or tarnsportation. It calls for *Life Inprisonment*! That's right. Life inprisonment. So lets say you're in a prtest and a public bus gets held up? You get life! Go figure? What kind of message does that send and how do one go about measuring the courage it takes in participating in what used to be a right which could now, if this bill goes thru, can get you life!
