May 3 is World Press Freedom Day (also Constitution Day in Poland and Japan). Let's better get to know "freedom of the press."
This liberty is protection to the media and other published materials, giving people the right to print anything in public reading material without interference (as long as it's true/practical). This right is addressed in the U.S. Constitution or, more accurately, the Bill of Rights. However, with more and more people questioning this right, it is harder to take what people print seriously. And people in the news can pretty much say whatever they want, which has made several misleading "facts." Like "The president's a socialist Muslim Nazi terrorist who's Kenyan voodoo health-care program will take over America," so pretty much anything they say on Fox News.
I wonder if other countries deal with this kind of stuff.

Greetings!
Hello, my name is Daniel. This is where I introduce myself, say what I like, talk about my life, etc. But I digress. I think what I like above all things is playing piano. I'm trying to write songs, but the hardest part for me is making the music, because the song could end up sounding like every other song. In other words, writing the song isn't hard, but making the music to it is.
Anyways, I'm politically moderate, since I don't have any opinion on the economy whatsoever, but I'm for equal rights. Gays, women, Jews, Muslims, and pretty much any minority you can think of.
I love Jewish humor, which I recently discovered after having someone perform at my synagogue. Besides that, I don't have anything else to say besides "Welcome to my blog."
