Where are we headed

Things done changed on this side. Remember they used to thump, but now they blast, right? That was Dr Dre from Lil Ghetto boy. I can remember not so long ago that people could sit on different sides of the isle and talk about how they did not like the other sides views. It seems now that people are taking it to the street. After the outburst by SC Rep Joe Wilson people have become bold in their actions to show how much they do not like actions by government officials. In the case of Mr. Wilson you don't have to like or respect President Obama as man but do respect the office of President of the United States of America. The actions of our "leaders" have led many people to speak out in other ways. Spitting, racial slurs, and vandalism are just a few. There are even some who are sending death threats. The one thing that I love about our great country is our ability to voice our opinions. But threating someone for their opionion is another story. It would appear that it is easier to find the phone number of a member of congress than it is to find the number for the board of elections and register to vote.

VA Rep Tom Perriello's brothers home had the gas line cut. Tea Party activist posted the address to the home thinking it was Tom Periello's home telling readers to stop by and express their thanks for his vote. Mike Troxel who blogged the address stated people should have access to their public officials. When asked if the children of public officals should be harassed at their house just because they're related, Troxel said, "You know, I think that's a burden that comes with being an elected offical."

Others left voice messages "Congressman Stupak, you baby-killing mother f---er. ... I hope you bleed out your a--, got cancer and die, you mother f---er," he says.
"You and your family are scum," a man is heard saying in another message. And of course none of these people would ever say racail slurs or spit at anyone.

People stop and think about what you are doing and saying. If this kind of behavior continues who knows where it will lead.
