Nick DiPaolo

I was an avid fan and listen of Nick DiPaolo's radio show, a few years ago. I was, in fact, a regular caller. In light of the Wikileaks issue that is going on, I am reminded of something regarding Nick.

If I remember correctly, Nick was talking about some 'muslim' looking people on a plane 'chanting', 'praying', or doing something that made white christian people uncomfortable. I remember calling in to the show to tell Nick that profiling was illegal, and religious freedom was legal. Now here is the one thing that I remember clearly, Nick said that since 9/11, "the world has changed."

I want to get to my point quickly, so I will state this now. I do not know anyone that died that day, and I did not see either plane hit those buildings. I was in NYC, and I didn't see either building collapse, because I went to my job at the time and (while we had a television) I had a job to do. On Sept. 12, I still had to wake up, in this changed world, and go do my job, but the one thing that I knew was that this country would only change for the better.

Well, I was wrong. You see, when I was growing up, I was forced to go to school, and I was taught that if the U.S. Constitution was to be changed, it could only be done through an amendment. Apparently, the money my mother spent on Catholic school was wasted, because the U.S. Constitituion can be changed by terrorist attacks, corporate money, and the Internet.

Nick, I still love your comedy, but you and all of the douchebags that think that the 1st Amendment is only selectively applicable need to realize that a) the 1st Amendment applies to everyone and b) the 1st Amendment is not for those that say what is popular, because you don't need protection.
