A Challenge to the Beastie Boys' Constitutional Interpretation, East Windsor Job Support, Windsor Locks Sports Sked

Good morning, Windsor Locks and East Windsor! Today is Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013; there are 329 days left in the year.

I’ve done extensive research on the issue, reviewing both the federal and state constitutions and I have come to the following conclusion:

Contrary to popular belief, there is, in fact, no Right to Party, as asserted by the Beastie Boys in their seminal hit, “Fight for Your Right (to Party).”

There is a freedom to assemble in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, which provides that there is a right for people to come together and collectively express, promote, pursue and defend common interests.

That, I would argue, is entirely different than what Mike D., Ad Rock and MCA were espousing when they stated, “Your pop caught you smokin’ and he said, ‘No way,’; That hypocrite smokes two packs a day.”

That does not mean, however, that the freedom to assemble doesn’t encompass a general right to party. I leave that argument for another day.

In an unrelated note, I need to get out more.

Here’s your Daily 5:
