Free Speech

Maybe because before I became a therapist, I acquired an undergraduate degree in political science, I find that this country has a poor understanding of Free Speech. Last incident I am aware of is what those Duck Dynasty characters said about homosexuality. This is just the recent of many nasty ccomments made about other's race, sexual orientatation, etc. Our forefathers never intended for Americans to stand in a street corner or the exquivalnet, today's internet, and shoot off negative comments to other Americans. I clearly remember when I studied constitutional law, that there ARE limits to free speech. Free speech is not the same as diarhea of the mouth. There are limits as in "responsibilities" such as you do not yell "FIRE" in a crowded movie theather just because... It is obvious that this country needs a lesson in civics. Perhaps we need to turn off reality tv and read government and history books. There is a huge "brain drain" in the making in this country.
