orwell.ru — I know that the English intelligentsia have plenty of reason for their timidity and dishonesty, indeed I know by heart the arguments by which they justify themselves. But at least let us have no more nonsense about defending liberty against Fascism. If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Your intentions are good kid. Just please respect grammar when you are attempting to write a paragraph on Digg. I respect your enthusiasm and your points, but no one will take you seriously if you don't take your time on these things. Orwell, Bradbury, Heller, et al. are great and I'm glad the youngsters out there are still reading them.

It's called grammar, not worship. I guess once the Eighteenth Amendment was passed prohibiting alcohol you would have claimed that repealing it with the Twenty First Amendment was unconstitutional. If you follow your logic through, then all the amendments are "unconstitutional" because they were not originally in the document that the States ratified. They are not unconstitutional, because Article V of the Constitution conveniently gives us two ways to amend the document and this clause was in the original document ratified. You don't have to worship the document, but you should at least read it before discussing it.
