While perusing through the ranting restrictions that Sasan Rahmatian (letter March 12) wants to implement in order to acceptably submit a letter to the editor of The Bee, I asked myself: Where is my copy of the Constitution of the United States of America? I found it, and low and behold I reread Article 1 of The Bill of Rights, that in part states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press."

Very simple, Sasan. Game, set, match.
