 Posted: 01/27/03 - 10:41 Post subject: Favorite Bill of Right
One thing that is so cool about this country is all the freedoms we have. We have the oldest working democracy going.
Which of the rights guranteed by the constitution is your favorite?
Mine has to be the Freedom of Speech. The right of people to have and express opinions has to be one of the great things in this country.

Religon. I may not agree with your religon but no one can tell you it is wrong, at least legally. If you want to worship the god of the tree or football you can.
This is a big reason why people came to this country to worship as they please.
Try that in one of these peace loving Muslim countries.

I like them all, but I like the right to bear arms. I also like that we are free to worship God in this country, if we so choose.

I think the right to Arm Bears is ridiculous- they have those big claws and all- why would they need guns too.

Wow, this is pretty close to a political discussion for RR. It could start all kinds of discussions about how these rights should be interpreted. Like does freedom of speech cover actions that express opinions, such as burning the flag? And does freedom of religion mean we shouldn't be asking our children to say "under God" when they recite the pledge in school? And does the right to bare arms mean even fat people can go sleeveless? Tough questions.
