We have the right to free speech as long as we don't use it- We have the right to peacefully assemble but so many tend to abuse it- We have the right to practice religion any way that we see fit- Basically, the 1st Amendment is just a bunch of shit- Political correctness has come and flexes its mighty grip- as another self-depraving form of censorship- And too many "peaceful" assemblies turn into riots in the dark- Detroit, LA, Quebec City and the rapes in Central Park- We are not protesting against winless wars, but corporate globalization- A free-trade market race-to-the-bottom perpetuating dehumanization- And you can practice your religion if it's in line with all my views- You right-wing Christians, starch-suited Mormons, and money-grubbing Jews- I might as well read the 1st Amendment through a blind man's eyes If I have failed to offend anyone- I sincerely apologize
Reason for writing:
It is my understanding of the first amendment.
I had to express my own understanding of it for my college final...
