The Second Amendment:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

It's a performance to make porn stars blush.
Middle school jerk jabber masquerading as adult entertainment.
Meryl Streep's commencment address at Barnard University cut to the quick:
"You have been told that real life is not like college. And you have been correctly informed. Real life is like high school."
