Get with the program!!!!

Pathetic in every way.

And then they tell ya
Find another home
And then you take a good look around
And they stole your rock and roll
And once it's gone you'll never get it back!

"Worry about important issues" is one thing.
"Go ahead and violate protected expression because it doesn't affect me directly" is quite another.

On a larger scale, I'd think people would be more concerned about the latter.

It's like they're going back in time...
