I never thought I'd say this, but the word "freedom" has become so contaminated
that there needs to be an amendment to the constitution. Freedom is beautiful, used as our forefathers meant it to be,
but today, the use of profain and vulgar words on tv have put a whole new meaning on the freedom we used to know.
For example, a commentary by a woman writer for the Washington Post newspaper told of she and about eight other people
who were trapped on an elevator as a woman berated her son with obsene words in every sentence...the "a" word, the
"f" word, the "s" word, the "mf" word and every other dirty word that would spew out of her
mouth, went on and on, even as the group got off the elevator, down the hall, and into the street. And although it hasn't
come to THAT with most folks, our Supreme Court has ruled that a person has the right, even on tv, to say those words.
And have you noticed how they've literally worn out the "OMG" words. I'll just have to say them to
make sure you know that they say "Oh my god" time after time, not caring that they're taking the name of God
in vain, which is the third, of the Ten Commandments. And I may as well throw this in, because even many Christians
say it without realizing that they too, are breaking the commandment when they say a line like "Lord, I hope not."
If you aren't using His name in respect and honor to God, you're missing the mark.
And these
people with the dirty mouths not only will answer to God for their looseness, but they're paying no attention to plain
old decency and good manners, in front of other people.
The writer I spoke of said in her commentary,
"The words themselves are constitutionally protected, as they should be, I hasten to add." And she continues,
"I'm willing to have my sensibilities offended rather than surrender the freedoms that permit such offense."
Well, I'm NOT. There comes a time when dirty mouths should be shut up, because I, for one,
am OFFENDED by them. Madelyn O'Hare was offended, and changed our world. Why shouldn't I have that right.
But what attorney would take my case. My only consolation: God sees and hears and we'll all have our day in
HIS court.
