Some care...some don't. Twenty-two pages of this.
Perfect example of “dividing us as a people”.

I don't understand what you are saying. What is the perfect example?

Point taken. But this world has changed much since those times. I doubt Franklin would argue, given the circumstances of today, that his words would fit perfectly. Given what is quoted of him, I really believe our country is currently slipping into a combination of indifference and ignorance regarding our citizens privacy. The terrorists on 9/11 have succeeded in changing our country in many ways unimaginable prior to then. Safety is being used beyond reason to take privacy and other rights inch by inch over time. Taken one step at a time it’s no big deal in many peoples mind. But, over time, a picture is emerging which is irrevocably changing our nation, dividing us as a people and creating the exact scenario the terrorists wanted. It is sad to see it happen. This is what I think about when I dwell on the words of Benjamin Franklin when he said:
“Those who sacrifice essential liberty, to purchase temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”
Did you read the post immediately prior to yours (post #439) where I used that phrase?

Yep. This too shall pass. Just like prior uproars... dogs at resorts, handle-less mugs, shampoo dispensers, the list goes on...Some care...some don't. Twenty-two pages of this.
Disney is trading potential liability for your inconvinience. An incident would cost them greatly and they are trying their best to avoid that liability.

I find it quite funny that every single thread about any changes at WDW go exactly the same way.
Ditto. Parking fees would/will never apply to me - I don't drive - but it's the principle. Everything together has changed my view of Disney's attitude toward the people staying in the rooms. We can't be considered guests any longer. Now we're just visitors.Me too. That parking charge has my bloomers in a bunch. WE use DME and never rent a car, so it has no effect on my family, but I am really mad about it just the same.
Just to be clear, I 'liked' this post because of the content, not because the poster dropped out of the conversation.I just went back and read it. Sorry, but I really don't get the point you are trying to make using my first quote. You seem intent on trying to convince those who don't care that they are wrong. I'm not looking for an argument, so I will bow out.
