[The River Assassin]

Good email, Mr. Finch. I wouldn't change a thing.

Haha, I thought you would like that.

Here is the email I just sent her. I wasn't near as mean but I hope she gets the point.

"Dear Ms. Floyd,

While I agree with you that professional athletes have the right to speak their mind however they wish, their fans also have the right to stop supporting those players if they disagree with them. Remember that the First Amendment only provides protection from the government, not from your employer or your fans. Mr. Young can speak his mind till he is blue in the face, but his fans also have the right to stop buying his jersey's, stop attending his games, and voice their displeasure over his opinion.

I would also invite you and Mr. Young to actually read the Arizona bill. I have read it several times over and they were very careful in the writing of the bill to try to minimize the possibility of abuse. While they can not control every officer, the punishment for those that do abuse law abiding citizens is very severe. The Federal Government has turned a blind eye to the boarder states, so they have been left to fend for themselves. Since you enjoy defending First Amendment rights so much, I think you should also try reading the Tenth Amendment, which states that powers not delegated to the Federal Government are left up to the individual states. Considering Arizona has asked the Federal Government several times over for help on immigration, to which the Federal Government ignored, Arizona is well with in their Constitutional rights to enact such a law. People tend to forget that the Constitution was written to protect State's rights as well as Individual rights. Thank you for your time."

Slow clap.

Exalt.

I hope she sends a reply, I have about ten other things I wanted to add but didn't want to make it too long.

[Ticket Mouse]

That she's a two-bit writer and her husband is almost just as bad? Her husband is an adjuct prof in the TCU journalism department. There's a girl I met through galleywinter.com who had his class and said he was 1) awful, 2) an ass, and 3) was only there to pick up a paycheck.

[The River Assassin]

Pretty much, I just wanted to point out how many times she contradicted herself in that article, but logic rarely works with idiots.

[sully]

Nice Finch. DB's idea would have been hilarious.

[fischer]

Good email finch.

[karilou]

Props to you on the email finch! Good job. Dont expect a reply because people can't argue logic. mama always said "you cant fix stupid."
