Stupid VA Lawmaker Trying to Snip Testes

[Rick_R]

Wow, a stickler for grammar from Mississippi. Now I've seen everything.

Yeah, we saved up and bought a book on grammar and it was my turn to read it last week.

Actually, I'm by no means a stickler, and I'm sure you could find dozens of grammatical errors in what I write. I just found it amusing to see 'em in a post knocking rednecks. Was meant in fun.

I don't like it when there is pornographic graphite near my kids school. I have limits to what I think is appropriate.

I absolutely agree here there are limits - however those limits are for you, as a parent to enforce with your child. If you (and your community) don't like pornographic graphiti you should organize a neighborhood watch to stop vandals. And you should change your child's route to school when you discover that it's the owner of the building and not vandals painting that there.

I have read some TJ and I really have never run across an article on obscenity.

The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or otherwise to publish anything but false facts affecting injuriously the life, liberty or reputation of others, or affecting the peace of the [United States] with foreign nations.

Even porn doesn't threaten your life, your liberty, your reputation (unless it is of you, and published without your consent) and it is quite unlikely to incite war with a foriegn nation - Thomas Jefferson supported one's right to publish (which, but definition means to spread into the public) everything else - including porn and rubber car testicles.

Protecting Freedom of speech is pointless unless you protect the speech that people want to silence.

While we're on American patriots, I'll throw out a quote from one of my favorites.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.
