The 1st Amendment

Please forgive me, but I'm now walking the borderline
of what might possibly offend others who read this work of mine,
but I do believe that the following must be said
continuously, otherwise one day our 1st Amendment might be dead.
"If it's ever enacted into law that we can't say "**** You" because it offends,
then we'll never again be able to say "**** You" to an unruly government."

Hehe! Well, we can always say, BE GONE Pig! The 1st amendment has been abused quite often in my mind. Thanks for sharing your outlook. Best wishes, Caroline.

Another astute observation, Bill! Our basic rights seem to be plucked away one at a time. So sad. Love, Carolyn

OR be able to do diddly ABOUT the government. I just wish they didn't say that word so much in movies and stuff. I really find it grating on my ears. Thanks for your "sincere" comment to me. I sure hope you were not pretending, dear man. Sometimes we can't know around here. hahaha. Andrea
