According to some, I cannot be accorded the benefit of freedom of speech:
1) I'm not a U.S. citizen
2) I don't live in the U.S.A.
and, I've read that (due to the above), the U.S. Constitution would -allegedly- not guarantee me the above privileges.
I'm very surprised and, not being an expert on constitutional law, I nevertheless have a hunch that such statements were made in error. (Constitutionalists, please inform me!) And, in case/if the U.S. Constitution would NOT be applicable to foreigners, then
A) It wouldn't be worth the paper it is written on (which I do not believe)
B) In spite of that, I still make statements via the Internet
Please do note I did and would again observe 3 minutes for the poor people who burned, jumped to their deaths, were maimed, lost their loved ones, etc. but would recommend others to exhibit some regard for the many many other ones who suffered likewise because of the cynical attitudes of power and machismo galore. This is not to be construed as in defence to the terrorists.
I offer my apologies to Wayne if perhaps my tone has gone a bit ...upset... and I don't want to offend any one. Enough is enough.
BTW, yes, I believe it's time to stick to Porsche cars.
