I Wish I could write this funnier than just the facts, but it's one of those stories that's Sad...I mean Funny, just by clicking the link(Don't do it yet, see if you can answer the question first without seeing the answers.)

The soon to open McCormick/Tribune Freedom Museum recently took a poll of 1005 Americans asking to name the five Freedom's of the First Amendment and the five members of the Simpsons. 22% of those polled knew Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, & Maggie. BUT ONLY ONE PERSON could name all 5 freedom's.

Now, myself, having not taken a Constitution class since 1990 was still able to name four of them (which really shocked me).

Better yet, 25% could name the American Idol Judges...Fat Black Man, Angry Brit, and the Whore...right? But only 8 % only knew 3 Freedom's.

The reason this comes to my Blog is because earlier today I had a 19 year old punk vandalizing the restaraunt I work at and when I asked him to leave he stared swearing F.U. you G.D. Spic (and I'm not even spanish which made him look like more of a fool than he already was.) He started in with it was his First Amedment right to Swear if he wanted. Luckily, the Cops beleived diferently and he was taken to Jail.

Now I have to go to court in a couple weeks to get this kid for Vandalism and Public Disturbance charges. I'm almost tempted to tell him in court that'd I'd drop the charges if he could name the five fredoms of the First Amendment.
