THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the  protection 
it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy.  The press was to 
serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's  power to censor the 
press was abolished so that the press would remain  forever free to censure the 
Government. The press was protected so that  it could bare the secrets of 
government and inform the people. Only a  free and unrestrained press can 
effectively expose deception in  government. And paramount among the 
responsibilities of a free press is  the duty to prevent any part of the 
government from deceiving the people  and sending them off to distant lands to 
die of foreign fevers and  foreign shot and shell. --Justice Black. NYT v. US.
