And anything relating to freedom of speech has to be spoken words that aren't in the presence of any electronic recording devices. Written speech must be copied by hand with a quill pen and must be grammatically accurate for the 1700s. No more freedom of speech on the internet, since it didn't exist in the 1700s.

Since pagan religions weren't particularly common in the US in the 1700s, we can probably go ahead and do away with the freedom of religion protections for those, too.

We'll keep freedom of the press, but only for things printed on an authentic hand cranked printing press. No fancy electronic devices will be protected.



What you posted isn't a compromise, it's a tantrum.
