Free Republic

Blocking a roadway with a stopped vehicle might be construed as a crime. And be punishable. Driving around a block (slowly enough to avoid the traffic ahead of you) is not. If you have the numbers -- and I think we do -- then: (a) Anyone who needs to peel off and refuel, or take care of other business, can do so without harming the cause; and (b) Not only trucks, but cars, vans, and even motorcycles and bicycles can join in the fun. The beauty is: what can police do? Pull over an individual vehicle? Block a lane? That...

Nah, I don't want to be president. Just a supporter. Its platform: 1. We support immigration. We do not support illegal immigration. We defy those who pretend that this sould be in any way controversial. 2.

"He has been in the country for years," says the newslady in an overdub, "and has never committed a crime. . . . He was jailed for entering the country illegally . . ." No apology was offered...

This is my first thread. I'm only posting it to see if any other FReeper had the same experience today, yesterday, or maybe tomorrow. Today, all three of the websites I routinely log into that require a password (including FR) returned an error message, saying that I needed to re-enter the password because it was incorrect. Now, one website I could put down to typing error. Two, maybe bad typing still. Three, seems suspicious to me. These are websites I log into every day. On all three I happened to mis-type the password in one day out of thousands? I'm...
