Subject: RE: the pot calling the kettle black NW Folk
Let it never be said that Reggie Miles was unwilling to help a poor nonprofit organization, like the NW Folklife Festival. Look here! See what I've done. I've made it even easier for them to understand the big word, "unconstitutional."

I know that some folks have a hard time with the meaning of such terms. It's easy for them to get confused. There are so many syllables. Here's what I found online at a site called Answers.com.

Unconstitutional - Conflicting with some provision of constitution, most commonly the United States Constitution. When a statute is found to be unconstitutional, it is considered void or as if it had never been, and consequently all rights, contracts, or duties that depend on it are void. Similarly, no one can be punished for having refused obedience to the law once it is found to be unconstitutional.

Hmmm, now I wonder why I was being railroaded off the property by the NW Folklife Festival head of security and the police. According to above law definition, the security guy had no right to ask me to move from where I was playing, given that the court's had ruled the festival's rules were "unconstitutional" way back in 2005.

Is any of this starting to sink in yet Molly?
