Howdy, TLC. Re: "They don't know why it's the First Amendment...." I know why, and it might surprise you - it does most. In the original bill as passed by Congress, there were 12 amendments. [Actually, House of Reps passed 17, but Senate cut it to 12.] #1 and #2, dealing with # of constituents per representative and congressional pay were not ratified by the necessary 3/4 of the states. So what had been #3 became our beloved First Amendment. Pardon the intrusion. Back to bashing BW. :-) ...Mezz - "____ 'em if they can't take a joke!"
