Name All Five Freedoms
In a telephone poll of 1,000 Americans reported by the BBC, 22 percent could name all five Simpsons but only 1-in-1,000 could name all five freedoms delineated in the First Amendment.I'm curious to see whether weblog readers are smarter than telephone owners.
Without cheating, use the comments of this entry to name all five freedoms.
I'm already on record with my guess on the Drudge Retort, and I got three out of five, leaving off one that's an extreme personal embarrassment.
One of the winners will be randomly selected to receive a pair of Cordarounds, the world's first horizontal corduroy pants, on the condition that he or she agrees to model them for Workbench and write a weblog entry on what it's like to exercise your freedom of pantaloons.

To bicker with computer geeks over thngs that don't really matter nd prevent one from getting ot the real work at hand --- that's the one you're embarrassed over, right?
If by "real work at hand" you mean "free up time to watch more baseball now that spring training is upon us," I'm in total agreement.

It doesn't surprise me that 1 in 1,000 people actually know this stuff. Who cares about what freedoms you're having striped away when you can come home from work and giggle at the fact that your family so closely resembles The Simpsons. "It's all gov't 'stuff' ... bah."
Humbug~

No need to cheat now, plenty of people have answered the original question. But seems to me everyone left out one important freedom; that being the freedom to absolutely bitch slap the hell out of the moron yakking into his/her cell phone forcing you to hear all about Uncle Fred's gall bladder operation or the latest about 'Amber and Joey'. Oh - M'Gawd!
I'll try to not cheat, typing this before looking at the rest of the comments.
1. Speech

I find it interesting that the order in the Constitution is 1) religion, 2) speech (not free speech, freedom of speech), 3) press, 4) assembly, and 5) petition, yet they are rarely mentioned in that order.
And the ACLU actually re-wrote the amendment, completely erasing religion and stating that free speech is the "first" right.

1. FREEDOM FROM HUNGER AND THIRST.
You should give your animal ready access to fresh water and the correct diet to maintain full health and active.
2. FREEDOM FROM DISCOMFORT.
You should provide your animal with an appropriate environment which includes shelter and a comfortable resting area.
3. FREEDOM FROM PAIN, INJURY OR DISEASE.
You should ensure your pet remain disease free through regular vaccinations, rapid diagnosis of any illness and take them to a vet if they appear unwell.
4. FREEDOM TO EXPRESS NORMAL BEHAVIOUR.
Your pet should have sufficient space, proper facilities and the company of other of their species .
5. FREEDOM FROM FEAR AND DISTRESS.
You should make sure that the conditions that you keep your animal in will avoid mental suffering.

Fiona's above post reminded Spud of the old mnemonic.
Be Well.
PS: Freedom of religion includes Freedom from religion too.
PPS: an extreme personal embarrassment.
Pls don't tell Spud ya fergot "Freedom of the Press"
Srsly? Wow!
If there are to be 5 freedoms (I am a Belgian, no American)
I assume they would be
- Freedom of thought (and religion)
- Freedom of expression (and speech)
- Freedom of assembly
- Freedom from want
- Freedom from fear
Personally, I assume the following 5 freedoms in my vision for liberalism:
- Freedom of thought (and religion)
- Freedom of expression (and speech)
- Freedom of assembly (which includes having law made by the people for the people)
- Freedom of chance (which encompasses the freedom from want and freedom from fear)
- Freedom of action with respect for all other freedoms (and thus also the law)
OBHWAMF!!! It's so true.
PS- LSWYTD ;)
