Its a free country means I can make comments without fear of censorship or arrest. I can photograph anything happening in a public space and any news worthy event that may happen in a private / public space like a Mall or Airport. I can carry my camera/to go bag with me anywhere I go , along with a bottle of water and a first aid kit.
The Whole Thing ! Its too bad that in order to get into Politics you have to be the type of person who is willing to twist words ,avoid questions , have wealth, seek out the far sides and divide and conquer people. But for what means, your own Power ?
Prohibit religion and religious issues from being used in running for office.
Make it mandatory that facts are used in discussions, policy and law. Take up the same rules of debate that are used in high school. Get rid of all lobbyists. Have the Presidency , Senate and Congress be one 5 year term so no one would do things just to get re-elected. Have first and second choice options at the polls so other parties or independents have a real chance at getting elected
Decriminalize Marijuana and most other "drugs", all we get from our current laws is the creation of a super lucrative black market, which is where MOST of the death and violence comes from. This in turn costs us billions in enforcement , prosecution and prison.
Tax these substances and pay for all the Americans who need health care. Those who drive under the influence are still prosecuted. Those who are abusing and hurting themselves can go to a clinic to get rehab. The rest of us can finally relax and smoke a joint or grow some plants.
And create a Law that defines NEWS as a neutral and fact based endeavor!
Ask hard questions, follow up and do not let politicians avoid them or parse words.
A lot of reporters from the BBC follow this practice.
