1. Of course, "Our Friends on The Right"...

Will consider this High Treason and Sedition and work to ban and hamstring this in any way they can. After all, free speech only works when theyhave it.

On edit: How do I get a job on this thing? I...err...have a little experience in this sort of thing. Concerts.
