Turtle Tears

I am finding that "Free Speech" is a one sided coin. So often when someone wishes to demonstrate their ability to be vulgar or shocking, we hear these claims of the first amendment. Yet those that oppose obscenity and vulgarity in the public domain are told their views are intolerant and should be squashed. (Being a smaller turtle, I am somewhat sensitive to the word "squashed")

It seems you are allowed a voice only if it is in agreement with the people professing their obscenity is free speech.

I'm sure this is a quote from someone but if not please add this as a quote from Eugene Turtle, esquire. "Freedom without responsibility will destroy a nation."

I am sad to announce that America seems to have lost the concept of responsibility (except to ones own desires). This means we no longer care whether our freedom hurts others (especially children) because our own rights outweigh the good of society.

We can no longer get back to a nation living and dying for common goals because each persons goal is now much more important than the country itself. Our only chance is the hearts of people to change and think of others before themselves. (I'm sure that it someone else's quote.)

As for now, those exposing their rights to vulgar free speech would many times say that their ability to show obscenity to the public (and even children) IS what makes America great.

Sometimes I think freedom cries in our misinterpretation of its glory. Tonight this turtle will shed a tear as well...
