The word is "guarantees". The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America is not (thank God) subject to popular opinion. It doesn't really matter that the majority of Americans who answered this poll are too ignorant to understand what free speech means.

It does matter that those same Americans are standing idly by while a series of ill-conceived laws are passed by over-zealous, self-aggrandizing politicians, often at the behest of corrupt business magnates. But as long as the Constitution still stands we have a chance at getting this mess straightened out... eventually.

Something else to get angry about.
CBS News: "Support for the First Amendment has eroded significantly since Sept 11 and nearly half of Americans now think the constitutional amendment on free speech goes too far in the rights it guarantees, according to a new poll." [Scripting News]

An outstanding idea, I've added a little more info in the middle of Seb's post because Krzysztof made a couple more points well worth reading.

Blog your resume. This is how a typical resume looks like. My opinion is that it's impossible to tell anything from a typical resume. [...] Blog your resume.
[insert] In addition to a standard resume keep a log of all the stuff you're learning and doing. E.g. if today you wrote a 5k lines perl script that spiders the web and extracts interesting info, you would to your log a dated entry:
Finished 5k line Perl script to spider the web. Used LWP::Simple module...
etc. Maintain focus and balance. We assume that this information will be read at some point in the future by someone who'll want to hire you. Don't put irrelevant information like what you've eaten for breakfast (maintain focus). Also don't post trivia like wrote 5 lines of Perl code to display "Hello world" (maintain balance).

It's a win-win situation. Potential employer has a much better chance to assess your skills and experience. You'll have a better chance to showcase your skills and you'll have an edge over resumes that only say "Programming skills: C/C++, PHP". Of course you should start now, the day you're out of work is probably a few years late. [...] [Krzysztof Kowalczyk's Weblog] [ Source: Seb's Open Research]
