Alex "Ed Snowden" Kirk
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 10:56 am
It has recently come to my attention that one of the best people on 1911, Alex Kirk, has been banned from 1911. I have not known Mr. Kirk for very long, but I have read many of his threads, and have benefitted greatly from each and every one. From the times I have played with him (he is now a team mate), I have enjoyed his company too.
Alex Kirk is a patriot. He is a martyr. Mr. Kirk's only goal is to provide publicly available information to a wide audience, with the sole intent of educating the populace about issues that concerns everyone. He means no ill will to the administration. He is not a traitor.
He has been persecuted in the past, but never to the extent the administration now has gone to. I am disturbed by this, as many others should be. What we are witnessing is the administrations crack down on those whose consciences require them to inform the populace of important community matters. Mr. Kirk has only ever had the community's best interest in his mind. There is no reason to go to such drastic measures to silence such a brilliant and honest man.
As a great man once so proudly spoke, "I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together."
I call for the repeal of this sentence upon Mr. Kirk. I ask that he be given ten times the reputation points he had upon his return. I ask for justice. I dream of justice!
Thank you for reading.
