Yes, Josh, There Is a Bill of Rights

David Kolodney

Back in 2002, I got this email from my brother’s brother-in-law, Josh Kiok. Kind of relevant.

Dear David,

Once again I’m shocked, shocked! I suspect you already know about this, but just in case you don’t, a recent series of articles appeared in the SF Chronicle about the FBI/CIA spying on the Free Speech Movement. You can find them at <>

Yes, Josh, There Is a Bill of Rights

Of course, you are shocked, Josh. You have heard thoughtless adults imply that the Bill of Rights is just a pleasant story that we tell to children.

But rest assured, Josh, as long as we can dream, as long as we can fantasize, as long as we can pretend, there will always be a Bill of Rights.
