I'm not a lawyer, and don't know what the law is about telling people to break the law, so to be clear, I'm not telling people to break the law.

But when you look back at history, sometimes people have had to break the law when it's fucking stupid, and make it unenforceable by popular will.

If you don't stand up before it's too late, then things will get worse.

These new laws at the state and federal levels are an affront to the principles of democracy and freedom of speech.

I hope that Sydney-siders do the ring thing this weekend.

Bur it's dumb that the police have this power in the first place.

I agree.
Form a "fellowship of the ring" and cast it into the fires of Mount Doom...
