SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: you that the second amendment aplies to MILITIA dont you?
"A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
That is open to interpretation and debatable. Most Americans who are pro gun rights don't see it that way. You can argue both sides, and if you're intelligent you can see how the english allows both possibilities.
If you look at history however, colonial america was filled with guns. It was the right of the _individual_ to have and use guns for his protection. So when the founding fathers penned the constitution, I think thier intent was for the right to bear arms by individuals... Afterall, I don't remember any history where Washington went to collect the weapons of those who were not part of a militia.
