And so, what I'm wondering here is IF with all this "freedom" with which we Americans supposedly pride ourselves...well, IF maybe with all this "freedom" IF we ALSO often lose sight of the idea of "personal restraint and responsibility" in our actions and/or words, as compared to other places in this world?
(...there's ya somethin' to contemplate, huh?!)
Good point, Dwight. I sometimes think of the old example of NOT protected free speech, wherin a person is not allowed to yell fire in a movie theatre just for fun. Public discourse, and especially RADIO "personalities", are allowed to say nearly anything nowadays, whether true or not, as "entertainment. (And I'm specifically thinking of RL.) Personal responsibility is ever more lacking in actions AND what you say.
Having said that, I'm no fan of the PC police. Everybody is so thin skinned today, that I'm afraid to use the Lords name in vain, because I'm afraid he might return just to sue me!
