   Freedom of speech in the USCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

   This has been expanded to mean no law shall be passed by any level of the government. But also restricted to prevent dangerous situations (like yelling fire in a crowded theater)

   It does not say anything about private entities, which means newspapers and websites are free to restrict what ever they want

   Also freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Take Charlie Sheen, freedom of speech allowed him to go to a public forum and insult his boss. However that freedom did not protect him from getting fired.

   Scott Adams has the right to say what ever he wants, but that doesn’t protect him from newspapers no longer wanting to work with him. He may have some protection because of signed contracts, though I suspect newspapers usually have a loophole to allow them to terminate the contract

   The one thing you have to take in to account is that the sister goes to the same school or went to the same school, which means Frazz knows her personally.

   And since Frazz is usually in the hallways when a kid leaves class to see the nurse, he knows aware of which kids “magically” feel better after the nurse tells them they don’t have a fever, or whose “headache” vanishes instantly after swallowing Ibuprofen pills. He also knows which kids get a bad headache and probably sits quietly with them while they wait for their parent to come pick them up.

   I remember having to fix a number of minor bugs in our code, but we were done months a head of time. Honestly we had more bugs leading up to y2k as people tried to schedule things in the future

   I do remember the last day of work before new years was the first time I ever went in to a datacenter. We were there to pick up the tape backups just in case there was a problem

   And in 15 years we get to do it all over again for the Y2038 problem
