The Tenacity of Amendment I (despite repeated assaults)

The one thing I neglected to mention in my last post was the fact that the opportunity to express one's thoughts in a blog or any forum is an invaluable one. There aren't many other places in the world where it is as easy and permitted as here in the US. And yet there are people everywhere who risk life and limb to speak out and try to get their voices heard.

So, another reason to blog: Because you can.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
