Although freedom of speech and freedom of the press: the FIRST AMENDMENT if
you are here in the USA is not a periphery issue to those with a serious
interest in the pursuit of photography.
It's the bottom line.
There is no "we don't like this guy" or this fella is going to post kids on
the swing-set to a website" so the first amendment has to go this time. That
is way far out absurdity.
