911 is the loneliest number

On this, the 6th anniversary of the destruction of the WTC and the beginning of the Fourth Reich, I call for a moment of silence -- not for those who died in the attack, who have already had their share of memorials -- but for the Bill of Rights, a document destroyed not in the rubble of the World Trade Center, but in its short-sighted, horribly corrupted aftermath.

Here's to you, Constitution, wherever you may rest. We took you for granted, and we will miss you more than we can even begin to imagine.
