Thank you, Septimus, for your kind invitation to reply to the additional items in the list you created of our government’s “denial of freedoms.”

Your characterization of government encroachments on your fellow Americans’ free speech rights as “horrible injustices inflicted on cake-makers,” a droll comment, would appear to indicate a view of those rights of the American people that have been set forth in our Constitution _verbatim et litteratim_, as not preeminent.

I have no idea how to even begin to reply.

I wish you a very pleasant day. And God bless us, every one.
