THE NEW DEFINITION OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THE CONSTITUTION…
YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT…….BUT BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY?
It looks like we have to start changing the Constitution in terms of freedom of speech in this country. Apparently, expressing your opinion can cause a national catastrophe. You know what I am talking about. One of the best things of the Constitution is our freedom to speak, in favor or against anything; this is guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States. That said, we all recognize that a lot of people say stupid things, as it happened some weeks ago. The wrong words came out in the wrong place. That is a given. But, suggesting that someone should loose there livelihood for expressing an idea, no matter how stupid or idiotic, is even more stupid and it is a violation of the most important principle: LIBERTY OF SPEECH. Yes, you can agree or disagree, you can express you opposition to something that was said, which is the beauty of living in a democracy. Apparently some people don’t understand this and are so blind sighted that they are willing to put in front of a firing squad anyone that doesn’t agree with them. This is sad. When we come to this land we have an expectation of liberty, progress and the right to pursue happiness. That we must respect at all times and without considering where we come from. We should respect dissident opinions, or just ignore them. But one thing is clear, this country guarantees freedom of speech no matter how stupid or out of line, and if some of us cannot understand what that means, maybe we don’t deserve to live here.
Just think about a world where you only have to have it you way…….doesn’t that sound stupid?
Yes, try not to be offensive, but say what you want and respect the liberty of others to say what they want…even if you don’t agree with it. So, do you think we need to amend the Constitution? I think not.
So where are you in all of this? See you next week.
