No Free Speech
The right to freedom of speech continues to be attacked in this country.
Now keep in mind, for those of you educated in the government schools, the first amendment applies to GOVERNMENT. These amendments DO NOT grant anything -- instead they are prohibitions on what GOVERNMENT can do. In other words, I can say whatever I want (without endangering someone else) and GOVERNMENT shall not stop me. However, I do have to live with the repercussions of what I say from other people. But two things in the news directly conflict with that amendment, showing that government honestly does not care about this amendment. The first one is a school banning students from chanting "U.S.A." Now the school IS government, and while the students do not have unlimited rights while at a school, these people are just morons. The school is claiming that the letters "U.S.A" don't mean United States of America, but instead mean something else. Well I'll tell you what, idiot school officials, how about you pretend they mean whatever you want them to mean, and I'll pretend they mean what I want them to mean. Freedom, it's a novel concept. The next story is much, much worse. Mayor Ken Corley of Brazoria, Texas, has decided that HIS government wants to not only ban a certain word, but only ban it when certain people say it. He wants to ban the "evil" n-word, but only when white people say it. Yes, this is for real. He's proposed that if a white person says the verbotten word, they will be fined $500. But if a black person says it, then it's perfectly okay. Is there really any hope for justice and freedom today? It sure doesn't look like it to me. Maybe I should go join Ed Brown.
