I’ve never been more disappointed in my fellow man. We sue after smoking for some forty plus years with daily reminders of the health factor, we sue because we spill a hot cup of coffee in our laps, we sue because we are fat, we sue to remove any reference to God from the face of the earth, and this absurd list goes on.

We all (this would include judges, juries, and lawyers) need a course in Responsibility 101 and the virtues of free speech. About the only time we see the right of our Freedom of Speech defended is as a defense for pornography in its many forms. The way I understand it, we also have the right to Freedom of Religion and the Freedom of Speech, even when speech is coupled with religion.

Art can be blatantly vulgar and profane and be protected. Let the term God show up and these same protecting aspects of our Constitution and Bill of Rights are twisted to satisfy this stupidly misguided interpretation of the separation of church and state, the meaning of which is simple: NO STATE MANDANTED RELIGION! It’s a pox on our intelligence to allow this to mean anything else.

It takes a MAN to be responsible for our actions, regardless of the consequences. Look around you. The finger points everywhere but at ourselves.
