"To pretend that nothing has changed in the last 230 years is just asinine.

We do not have a society now that even resembles the situation that prompted those men to write that amendment as they did."


All very true- the "press" used to be just on paper, and the idea that a news report ( or news of anything) could travel around the world in a few minutes was unthought of. At the time, the "freedom of speech" was insured, because the victim of false speech had a chance to make comment or deny it before the entire world had heard of it- Since this is now no longer the case, I am sure you will all agree that we can get rid of that primitive, un-needed "right" of freedom of speech and of the press.
