Some, reach for the apple highest
Some, hardly reach at all
While others gather from where they walk.

Two things form the bedrock of any open society - freedom of expression and rule of law. If you don't have those things, you don't have a free country.

Actually, the Constitution does. First Amendment. I believe you are referring to the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. Taking a thread in a different direction is not always advisable.

Actually . . . The Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. It is enforced by every person by continuing to use it and defending those who use it.

"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
Voltaire (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/v/voltaire.html)

[Jeriatric]

“It's difficult admitting you're wrong. Even more difficult admitting it when you have scoffed and otherwise ridiculed the truth with blind, unremitting determination, so blithely confident in your own infallibility. But then one day -- or one night -- the truth is put into your hands, and you realize those stories and songs and legends told by Northern strangers are truths after all, and that no one has lied to you.”




Jennifer Roberson, Sword-Singer

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

Many here have paid the price so you CAN say what's on your mind.

A “trouble shooter” news reporter for the Orlando Sentinel broke the behind the scenes story on Dale Earnhardt’s death years ago,e-mailed me this quote…it has hung on my wall all these years…

“Dear Kristal…Like Mike I’m not much on religious or so called “ spiritual” rationalizations for what clearly is irrational life in a irrational world. I rely more on human experience, passed down. John Ruskin wrote a sentence I've lived by all of my professional life..

“The greatest thing a human soul ever does on this earth is to see something clearly, and tell what he saw in a plain way”

WE live by these words everyday…I too have paid dearly for freedom of speech….
