My Freedom Of Speech

I am not allowed to have an opinion according to some. So if you disagree with what I am saying, request that I not send you notification of my posts or refrain yourself from reading any of this. I will, in the interest of my own health, attempt to keep this short.


The first amendment is our benchmark for freedom of speech. With few exceptions, we can say what we want. Those exceptions are some obscenity, all child pornography, speech that may cause imminent danger, and some types of advertising are regulated. However, my right to post on my blog what I choose to post is protected by our First Amendment.

Because of our First Amendment rights, I should be able to say what I want, when I want, and where I want. I am sticking with that idea because if Larry Flynt can be our poster boy for those same rights, I should be able to have the same. I just will not use pornography or obscene language to say it.
