Consider me officially mad

There's apparently legislation underway that will attempt to provide journalists with better protection under the law. Some type of shield law. It drew my attention, because apparently bloggers aren't going to be shielded by said law - or at least it looks like that's the case at present.

But you know what? I'm now 100% officially sick to death of politicians. All of them. The 1st Amendment already provides for protection of the Freedom of Speech, and of the Press. Why the hell would we need another law to make sure that Journalists are protected? And, in in doing so, what about the REST of US?

And frankly, how does working for a company that sells hemorrhoid creme, laundy detergent, or used cars during commercial breaks make you any more trustworthy, relevant, important, or worth protecting than anyone else in this country who is attempting to dutifully and truthfully disseminate information, or that has an opinion and wants to see justice done?

This just proof positive that politicians spend entirely too much time with special ineterest groups - which means they've lost touch with America. I'm so disgusted I could spit...
