The Bill of Rights

Hot damn! When I read of Mark Steyn's troubles in Canada and now Brigit Bardot's prosecution I thank whatever gods may be for the Bill of rights. We live in a country in which we are allowed to criticise our leadership in any way we choose. We can criticise other religions other countries the loyal (and often disloyal) opposition with no real fear of government reprisal. Our only legitimate fear in exercising our right to free speech is that some fanatic will personally attack. For this contingency we have the second amendment.
