- They show VERY little protests of ANY sort on television here in the USA anymore and our Government is forcing so called "FREE SPEECH ZONES" on protesters - Just last week when Mr. Bush was here in Albuquerque at the PIT they thought it best that the protestors (closer to 300+ in real life not the reported hundred or so) be located 2 miles away downtown! Any protestors that showed up at the Airport or at the PIT were arrested or relocted to a FREE SPEECH ZONE (NOT covered by the news, nor were the riot geared cops who were around the protest) BUT the protest did make local news for all of 30 seconds!

I had no idea. If you hand't told me the country, I would have thought this was on Cuba or Tianmen Square in China.
