Now you know why The Founders wrote: "Congress shall make _no_ law..." It's
not that they wanted anyone to say anything anytime they pleased, it's just
that being practical S.O.B.'s they knew you couldn't draw boundaries
without going nuts, and they weren't about to waste their time forever
arguing about nonsense. There were more interesting games to play, such as
taxes and corruption.


As Karl Marx said in one of his more useful observations, history does
repeat itself: first as tragedy and then as farce. Why are the Germans
making a laughinstock out of their government, too? Isn't Exon enough?
