ADVERTISEMENTS

Seven attempts by Government and Big Business Dupes to shut down this blawg. We rock on. We keep on keepin' on as Mother Ann (who was married to a lawyer) advised me many years ago. Read the comments for more. Here's the very first post exactly as it appeared three (3) years ago:

18 June 2005 -- Why a First Amendment Blog?

Great Morning!

It is a beautiful Saturday morning with my father here in sunny Southern CT at my sister's and time for my first submission. At the outset I note that my father has neglected to bring his tennis rackets up from Cleveland, pointing to his hip or whatever. Yeah, right, Pal.

This blog is first and foremost about the First Amendment; second about judicial, corporate and political corruption and abuse. As such, it is a companion site to my website listed above. [Since changed]

As I allude to in my online video, may none of us ever forget that we are all gathered here in this blogosphere because of the First Amendment or like principles throughout the World, which we cling to even in this post-9/11 era. Today the U.S. Government and other corporations want you to remain silent and stupid. Well I'm not having any of that.

That having been said, today's topic is naturally the current House Vote to repeal the "Sneak and Peek" provisions of The Act. I tend to be a First Amendment absolutist, but yet I am certain that terrorists (including people like Timothy McViegh, etc.) have used libraries and bookstores in their efforts. Nonetheless, there's something just not right about this -- regardless of whether the provision actually has been used inappropriately......yet. There's a slippery slope going on here. Besides, shouldn't we be a bit more careful just minding our own borders from truly dangerous would-be immigrants?

I mean, like, wowzers..... just look at this guy willya? Ouch. Yeah, that's right: Clearly people like me -- and you -- are the dangerous ones.

PS from 11 Dec 2005: I was right about that damn Patriot Act proviso.
