If this legislation passes, we could have a nhfree-leftist mixer, because I think on this issue, we are on the same side. Can I come to your barbeque?

Free speech shouldn't really be a left/right issue.

Free speech is something everyone under the sun says they care about, but very few people do, and even fewer take direct action to protect it.

Even though I think libertarians are crazy about the whole capitalism thang, if we can find a way to unite the left and right on this issue, it'll provoke a response.

Also, when is an antiwar movement of libertarians and leftists going to ferment? I think we could get something good going in New Hampshire...

I have not been able to get this out of my head:

Kid: Hey! Who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress?

Rolled up Amendment: I'm not garbage.

(singing)
I'm an amendment to be, yes an amendment to be,
and I'm hopin' that they'll ratify me.
There's a lot of flag burners who have got too much freedom.
I wanna make it legal for policemen to beat 'em,
cause there's limits to our liberties.
'Least I hope and pray that there are,
cause those liberal freaks go too far.

Kid: Well why can't we just make a law against flag burning?

Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional.
But if we changed the Constitution...

Kid: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!

Amendment: Now you're catching on!

Kid: What if people say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution?

Amendment (singing):
Then I'll crush all opposition to me,
and I'll make Ted Kennedy pay.
If he fights back, I'll say that he's gay.

Congressman: Good news, Amendment! They ratified ya! You're in the U.S. Constitution.

Amendment: Oh yeah! Door's open, boys. (Pack of crazy legislation enters congress.)
