Reading through some of the garbage out here, it makes me wonder if all this freedom of speech is really such a good thing. I'm not sure our founding fathers ever expected America to become a nation of self-involved, selfish individuals with absolutely no sense of "right and wrong" and absolutely no self control.

Freedom bring responsibility...and freedom without responsibility is not freedom - it's slavery. Slavery to self. Slavery to animal instincts and desires. Slavery to "fashion" and slavery to the whim of the day.

Freedom of speech requires self censorship. It requires that before you speak, you check your facts and understand at least some of the impacts your speech will have on those around you. Freedom of speech means that you'll stand up and accept the consequences of the things you say (and write and film).

I think too many folks in today's world have lost sight of this...and it truly disgusts me.
