A new (March 1) survey reports that only 28% of Americans were able to name more than one of the five freedoms granted to them by the First Amendment. However, 52% can name at least two members of “The Simpsons” family. While more than 20% of the participants were able to name all of the Simpsons family members, less than 1% of those surveyed were able to name all five freedoms found in the First Amendment.

More than 40% surveyed could name two of the three “American Idol” judges and 25% could name all three. Only 8 % could name at least three of their First Amendment freedoms.

That’s not all. About 20% of those surveyed agreed that the First Amendment granted them the right to own and raise pets, about the same percentage as those who believe that the right to drive is guaranteed by the First Amendment.

I'm more concerned about the right to arm Bears...do we we really want them to be able to shoot back?

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

hmmmmmm...freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom to sue anybody for anything , freedom of worship and, uhm.........can't remember the fifth one


marge, homer, lisa, bart, maggie, snowballs 1,2,3 and santa's little helper....oh! and homer's dad, abe.

The fifth one is about self incrimination, I think.

I'm one of 'em too !

Sadly, even I must admit to not being able to being able to name all five freedomw "guarranteed" by the First amendment.

I had forgotten the freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances.

And no, I really couldn't name all of the Simpson, either. Don't pay much attention to the show.

sadly, it seems increasingly irrelevant whether or not people name these freedoms, as they are increasingly prevented from exercising them.
