Some Sunday Drivels

If land is deemed as "public land", and we, the people collectively and individually, are the public, should we all not have unbridled access to "public lands"?

I notice that while 2nd Amendment advocates are boisterous about their rights, as they should be, not all of them are supporting people who believe in the first Amendment, and the right to freedom of religion. It should be a religious right to not bake a cake for a wedding that the baker believes is wrong. It should be a religious right to not take pictures at a wedding that a photographer may deem as being wrong.

And it is the right of those who are getting married to choose another bakery, another photographer, and another caterer who is not religiously offended by the wedding. Is not this the way that it should work?

By the way, if you have not read the US Constitution recently, I suggest that you do so. I did this weekend, and there was so much that I had forgotten over the years. For instance, the President really has very little power and only a small amount of Constitutional duties. How the Presidency became so powerful is amazing, and very frightening.

We should be much more engaged on who we send to Congress than we are about the one whom we elect as President.

One thing that I really was proud of in growing up Wallace was that the people of Wallace took liberty from the tyranny of big government very seriously. It seems like a lot of North Idaho people are losing that belief, and that is very, very, sad.

Happy Easter, everyone. Have a wonderful blessed day.

CEDAR:I would suggest that it was tyranny from Big Business--In the book 'Big Trouble' by J. Anthony Lukas (a Pulitzer Prize winning author) it is clear that Big Business steered the big government boat. If you haven't read it, every single north Idaho resident should read it. It should be required reading for every high school senior.
