Ok, so they say the constitution gives us the right to the freedom of speech. I am not sure what that really means, because one way or another I always seem to be paying for it. If you say what you think at home you have to do spend the next few hours getting out of the dog house. We won't talk about work or church.
It is my belief that these protections where generally only for the purpose of preventing the government from interfering in the communications of citizens. It also was meant to protect those who chose to criticize the government. Now we have the right to criticis just about everything else, but watch out if you want to say something about the government.
Personally, I like being able to more or less say what I want. Basically I think it is important that we remember that it is not free. It has cost this country in cash, and lives. It also costs us each personally because there are consequences to every thing we say.
Bottom line, if we are not responsible with what we say it could cost us a lot!!!
