===================

And a little verse about the First Amendment. The song actually has a line about Gore, but I'll just be....polite and ask you to do your own DD !!

Freedom of Speech, let 'em take it from me
Next they'll take it from you, then what you gonna do?
Let 'em censor books, let 'em censor art
PMRC, this is where the witch hunt starts
You'll censor what we see, we read, we hear, we learn
The books will burn
You better think it out
We should be able to say anything, our lungs were meant to shout
Say what we feel, yell out what's real
Even though it may not bring mass appeal
Your opinion is yours, my opinion is mine
If you don't like what I'm sayin'? Fine
But don't close it, always keep an open mind
A man who fails to listen is blind
We only got one right left in the world today
Let me have it or throw The Constitution away

Artist : Ice T
Title : Freedom of Speech
Album : Iceberg (I think?)
EDIT : I was going to put up their "Freedom of Speech" but that may limit my freedom of speech on SI ! LOL...
