Hey, those are my rights!
Oh noes! Abraham Kneisley sees severe rights erosion! It's that damn Bush administration stealing all of our rights in an almost completely unnoticable way.
The evidence is now indisputable: Our challenge as citizens is to realize that history is not written but is being written. We must find a way to spread the truth to whomever will listen, in the hope that we can find a way to persuade our fellow Americans of the need to fundamentally reevaluate this disastrous and embarrassing crack in the bedrock of our democracy.
What's the example of this?
To honor the American tradition of the rule of law, its separate powers and our system of checks and balances, Constitution Summer scheduled a teach-in for Monday, May 1, in celebration of Law Day. At 4:30 p.m., prior to our 5 p.m. event, I noticed that sound equipment had not been set up and no staff was in sight. When I arrived at the Office of Student Life to inquire about the problem, I was notified that our event had been canceled due to staff shortages.
Wow. Color me impressed. The horror! Why, we may as well just call ourselves fascist subjects.
