Freedom is very important to me. What do YOU do about people to work to limit others' freedom?

1. Vote them out of office
don't work for them, stay away from them, expose them...

2. I ignore them and laugh at them
"By hurting others, you hurt yourself"

As much as I don't like such statements, this applies in the case of freedom. If you limit other people, you are limiting freedom for yourself, as well.

If you're stupid enough not to value your own freedom, it's not my job to be concerned about you.

4. Boy howdy! Big typo on my part. Extracting virtual foot from virtual mouth...
What do YOU do about people who work to limit others' freedom?

And don't give me a DUzy for an incredible typo. :(

5. This was probably the result of holding two competitors for the OP in my mind at the same time.
What do YOU do to limit those who work to limit others' freedom, and the one in the previous post.

I despise bullies and manipulators. In fighting them, I have exhibited their traits. In seeing myself becoming what I was trying to shout down, I've stopped using their tactics.

But how to deal with BushCo? The Democrats we voted into office specifically to deal with this situation, will not do so. They have another full year to change the lawbooks and to further the cause of their corporations. I don't know. Do you?
