So I don't take him as a role model and enjoy what he was good at: music. Note to Sebastian: Love of, and pride in, one's country is the natural state of affairs. It's only the liberal/leftist insanity of the past 40 years or so that has deceived so many people into believing otherwise.

It happened to be my birthday and to hear his classic "Georgia on My Mind" made my day. For him to pass shortly after, amplified how amazing that evening was.

The first amendment prohibits the U.S. Congress from creating laws that inhibit free speech. The amendment has been interpreted to encompass slander and libel, neither of which have happened here. Perhaps the American thing to do would be to actually read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to understand the difference between a government inhibiting free speech and an individual’s choice to be civil – or not – with regard to something another individual has said." In the words of Michael Scott - boom roasted. “The first amendment is inapplicable in this instance. The first amendment prohibits the U.S. Congress from creating laws that inhibit free speech.

I was an adult before I realized that Ray Charles was anything other than a great country singer. I am filing this excellent blog under "Follow avidly; skip comments." -- Whoever put up the Jiminy Cricket remark: that's a brilliant analogy. Even God needs a moderator.
