Article #1

The article that I chose is a satire on the First Amendment and how we should be able to say whatever we want whenever we want. It talked mainly about how the Supreme Court upholds that right stated in the constitution. It even mentioned a fake case City of Charleston vs. The Kanawha Players that talked about how the Bill of Rights states that everyone should be able to say what they want. It makes fun of how some people don't seem to understand that people have the right to express their own opinions and word it the way they want. Throughout the article there are a numerous amount of bad words and foul language used to express their point about why people should be able to say what they want.

I chose this article because I agree that we should be able to say what we want and it shouldn't be a big deal as long as you don't intentionally hurt someones feelings and it's just a joke. I thought the article was very funny and the bad words were put there in order for people to understand their point about the First Amendment, that people shouldn't make such a big deal about certain words used by other people. If someone has a problem with what somebody else said then they should just talk it out instead of making such a big deal about it and going to court over a specific statement made out of context.

P.S. before you read the article remember you've been warned this article contains bad language and lots of it; enjoy!!!
