CalledTheRaven In Michigan we're getting tax breaks for big business, and screwing over the elderly and the poor. We're also trying to balance out budget by cutting funding and pay for state employees. Specifically, firefighters and law enforcement. And we're following Wisconsin's example in regards to unions. Yay us. Not to say the federal government is doing any better just now. Anyway, all of this is massively off topic.
And I think it still relates considering the government should be protecting its people, bot screwing them over.

I'm pretty sure such writings as this book about Wicca is indeed protected by the first amendment. But just because something is legal doesn't mean you won't get sued so hard your grandchildren will feel it. While mostly legal, the whole slander and lible thing probably won't impress the judges in civil court..
Oh! And a note regarding the seperation of state and local governments. States are made up of individual little governments called cities I hear, each of which has agreed to join the state, which is then joined to the federal government. One town in my state decided to leave the Union because they weren't getting any help during financial problems. No one said they couldn't, but a larger city (Duluth) loaned the unhappy town some money.
There might be a small island of a country in the middle of Minnesota because of that. Wish I could remember the renegade town's name..

I guess MD government is too greedy to act like civilized people since all they have been doing in banning together and raising the price of everything... I never saw any type of seperation in the state. Maybe some disagreements, but never a town acting on their own.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
or somebody equally august
said
"you have no right of free speech to shout "FIRE!" in a crowded theater"
(unless of course there really is a fire)
so you cannot use speech to directly cause harm
but otherwise sure, it's as they say a free country
and we have to let our ideas compete with the ideas of our idiot opponents.
