Freedom of Your Face...I Mean Speech.

The First Amendment states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances."

As I was browsing Wikipedia for the
assignment over the first amendment,
I read through several examples of
people being prosecuted for violating
the amement.
The following, to me,
is kind of what I was trying to refer to in class.

"Thus, the Supreme Court effectively shaped the First Amendment

in such a manner as to permit a multitude of restrictions on speech.

Further restrictions on speech were accepted by the Supreme Court

when it decided Gitlow v. New York, 268 U.S. 652 (1925).

Writing for the majority, Justice Edward Sanford suggested that

states could punish words that "by their very nature, involve

danger to the public peace and to the security of the state."

Lawmakers were given the freedom to decide which speech

would constitute a danger."

So, if we go with the example in class,
I would assume media based on one groups
hatred for another, could be seen
as a danger to the public peace. Yes?

So I suppose to answer the question we were given,
the first amendment to me,
represents the freedom of speech
to the extent that it does not infringe on
someone else's right for personal safety.
Maybe?

Maybe I'm still not getting it.
I supoose we'll discuss this in class
and someone can explain it to me then.

I'm out.

It just tastes better.

So this is my first blog of the week.
I am going to take this opportunity to express to
you, the reader, my hatred for
the restaurant, Spangles.Now, I know this is a random topic, but we weren't
really assigned anything specific to talk about,
and this just happened to be what's on my mind. So, Spangles...
I hate it.
I hate the food.
I hate the smell.
I hate the layout and design of the building.
I hate the cheesy half-assed commercials.
I really don't think it just tastes better.
I've never been to the Salina Spangles,
just because,
I haven't ever liked a Spangles I've been too,and I really have just never felt the need to go.
Also, Spangles is located out on Crawford,
which is a bit of a journey for me from where I live.
Well, lucky me,
I see on my way home from school today
that they are building ANOTHER Spangles,
right on 9th street!
What the hell?
So now,
I am going to have to pass that obnoxious
looking sign and building,
every time I go to and from school!
I can just picture myself every time I'm driving by,
sitting in my car, and humming that ridiculous commercial.
Grrrrr.("GET OUT OF MY BRAIN SPANGLES!")


So,
I'm sorry if this seems like a very hostile post,
I was just trying to make something very unexciting,
exciting. That said,
I think I want some Spangles.♥Erin

the beginning.
