What is it you, elect a Lesbian mayor and peoples constitutional rights are still violated.

Freedom of speech is our most cherished of rights.

I disagree. Just like I told my 4th grade teacher when she asked me the question - "the 2nd ammendment is the most important becasue without it, the rest of the bill of rights is meaningless". She didn't like that answer very much. I think she was hoping that all the kids would say it was the 1st ammendment.

Cherish - tender, hold dear
Important - having much significance, consequence, or value

I stand by my choice of words.

So are you saying that you agree the 2nd is more important than the first?

Personally, I hold no ammendment more dear than the 2nd, so I still disagree with you. However, I do also cherish the 1st ammendment, so I fully respect your right to say that you cherish that one more then the 2nd.

They should arrest the firemen standing in the street asking for donations.

They usually have permits.

I'm shocked to learn that this is illegal in Houston. I moved here about 5 years ago, and I routinely see people walking between cars that are stopped at intersections (asking for money). In fact, it is common to see people standing in the middle of two lanes while cars are zipping by on both sides of them in certain spots. The south access road for I-10 at the Gessner intersection is one place where I see the latter happen all the time. I have never seen a LEO enforce this, and yes I have seen LEO's drive right by such people.

At first I thought it was weird, but after seeing how people in Houston drive, I've just decided that people here place very little value on their lives.
