With humble gratitude to our insightful forefathers, we citizens of the United States of America have the right to express ourselves in a public domain. A few years ago, I was viewing an entertaining site on Youtube, the Shaytards, and I was struck by the intensity of the father of this family, discussing his religious belief in a calm, normal speaking voice in the middle of a department store. He was simply posting his daily entry to his site. It was inspiring to see and an excellent example of iconic realism.
Below is the demonstration:
1. An iconic figure (the head of a nuclear family, a father), expressed his Christian beliefs to his viewers.
2. The iconic figure in the midst of a realistic setting, not usually associated with this icon. (He expressed himself in the middle of a department store, as he shopped, not the usual place for such a discussion.)
3. This placement represents a needed cultural transformation. (He was exercising his 1st Amendment right to express himself freely, as guaranteed by our Constitution.)

With so many individuals being silenced by some corporations that run major social websites, I have to wonder if the CEOs of these corporate bullies have ever read the U.S. Constitution.
