Comment on the our Constitutional right of free speech.......
Is the constitutional right of free speech all encompassing?
In other words, can anyone say anything to or about anyone and get away with it?
Does the right to free speech also include lies that can hurt people in various ways? If so, why are their laws against slander (saying a lie) and libel (writing a lie)?
Isn't slander and libel a form of free speech? Aferall, you are just saying what you want too. Right!?
Why is it wrong then?
Because it is a Lie! There is a much older law that predates America's constitution. It goes like this:
"Thou shalt not lie"
Do you recognize this?
Here is another very old bit of wisdom that predates this country's constitution:
"Do not cast thy pearls of wisdom before swine, for they will only trample them underfoot. Do not give what is wise to dogs, for they will only turn and attack you."
Just something to think about!
And one other thought: "Engaging in a debate with a fool for a long period of time, makes you a fool yourself."
All of these things come right out of the original source of wisdom...the Bible!
Go HRCT!
