[soaped] I have some #%^&*!^ news for you, #%^&*#*. You represent everything that is wrong with this country. Your arrogance is sickening. I do have freedom to fly, I have freedom to do whatever the #%^* I want. &#%$^&* moron. 'Tis the season - Quotes from "A Christmas Story" (1983) Ralphie Parker (Narrator): Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master. In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obscenity, that as far as we know, is still hanging in space over lake Michigan. Ralphie: Oooh fuuudge! Ralphie as Adult: Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word! The Old Man: What did you say? Ralphie: Uh, um... The Old Man: That's... what I thought you said. Get in the car. Go on! Ralphie: It was all over -- I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child's play compared to what surely awaited me. "Over the years I got to be quite a connossieur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH! " - Ralphie as Adult Ralphie as Adult: I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of me as I screamed. http://clark.colgate.edu/doslander/christmas.htm ACS30 - The mother is on the telephone with Mrs. Schwartz.

Actually, that is not true. In the US, unless there is a specific Constitutional restriction on activity, the right/freedom belongs to the individual. Many of the founding fathers argued that the Bill of Rights was unnecessary as the rights enumerated already were vested in the people. However, drawing on British legislative history, others felt that some were important enough to require specific declaration. |
