Somebody somewhere has declared Thursday, 15. December 2011 as First Amendment Day. The refers to the First Amendment to the Constitution of the USA. I often rightfully bash the US of A. That country has become a big bully, the biggest bully in the world. I can go on and on about what is wrong in the USA. This is about what the USA has gotten right. These are arguably the most powerful 45 words ever written.
I live in and write from the USA. Respect for these words is what permits me to freely express my sometimes unusual and/or radical beliefs, so I give due where due is merited. I pray that I will be able to write the same next year at this time.
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.

Sorry about the word verification thingy, but I was getting way too many spurious comments, some obscene, some just in bad taste.
