Q52. "Could you explain what is meant by 'but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood...' as stated in Section Three?"
A. It means that your offspring cannot be held accountable for your treasonable actions. Basically, they wanted to ensure that the acts of one person did not taint (at least in a legal sense) the rest of his family.

I'd worry a little closer to the current time frame as far as governmental scrutiny.

I / we are a total irrelevance to them and they will continue as they wish with complete disregard for forums like this.
Come on, they disregard the wishes of the whole electorate when they want to.
The only times, and there has been a few, when I have refrained from posting something that I have wrote have been when they either been complete nonsense, insulting or in complete breach of the T&C.

If I have something really important to share, would I post it to an internet-forum to people I dont know? Where the information could be swept away by hundreds of other threads and short attention-spans? I dont know. It doesnt seem to do the information justice.

This is a shame for America that I, and I bet many others are starting to feel this way. It is sad I feel scared to use free speech in the United States.
I always feel like somebody is watching me here...
