The man's side of it!

You've got to be kidding!
The people on this planet get stranger and stranger every day! I see stuff like the article below and it makes my blood boil! If I'm getting this right, if I say print, "Lets get ready to rumble!" on a t-shirt, a web page or even possibly say it to someone in the street, I can get sued? What kind of country did this become while I was sleeping. What happened to freedom of speech? How can our government make laws that allow this kind of nonsense? And please don't say it was Bush's fault because this kind of silliness has been going on for quite some time.
I so want to go live on Mars, the people on this planet are becoming alien to me!
