Freedom of Speech
Amendment One

As years went by some changes had been made to the first Amendment
Here's a link for your satisfaction

I wonder what our founding fathers would think of the way we live today. Did they ever think what free speech would become in todays society. I think not!
For example :
When I go on Facebook I stroll through my friends status to see what's up with them. I confess I have friends that I really don't know all that well. We are more like acquaintances because we had been in Dog Rescue together and made trips getting Dogs out of Mills or going to Dog Auctions in Missouri.
As I read I come across lots of Drama, usually it's the young ones that spill the beans on every detail of their life. Boy Trouble, Money Trouble, or decisions to be made. Decisions on should I color my hair red, pink, or purple. Sometimes its about a break up, boyfriend and girlfriend are breaking up and they go into enough detail to keep you reading. Sometimes its about finance's and how they're going to pay their phone bill.
Some of the language is not for eyes and it embarrasses me to read them. I don't want to sound like an old prude so I move on without leaving a comment. I have a lot of patience however if they continue to do it regularly I will unfriend them without spreading it all over my page. I don't need an audience when I unfriend someone and I don't need the drama that comes with it.
Politics is the worst of the worst. I think people today are getting carried away with the first amendment. They sit behind their computer screens and blast away at who ever they don't like in Congress. It's one thing to put in your complaint but to use ugly words to get your point across, is to me like saying I really don't know what I'm talking about so therefore I will throw in the ugly words to throw them off on what we are talking about in the first place. I most then likely have done this myself and I am trying to stay away from topics that could cause me to throw out words I really deep down inside don't want to do. ( did I get you confused?) Lol!
The Obama Bashers are the worst ones. He has been called so many names and some are to nasty to even type here. What I do know is as I am strolling on Facebook the only ones that actually are putting political junk on their pages are the Obama basher's so that tells me and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where they stand politically. Let me just say its not the Democrats! I am speaking the truth when I say I am not seeing it from Democrats...... I guess you can say they ROCK !
I haven't wrote a blog in some time now. First I wasn't in the mood, I was getting burned out and second my health took a tumble. Not a bad tumble but enough to keep me off here. (SMILE)
I'm back and this is a first one I've done in quite sometime. I know its not perfect, but then I'm not NO perfect person.
I'm going to end this by showing you a little guy that is giving me lots of Joy! My children are all grown and my oldest Grandchild is 25 so here's my little 3 month old puppy. We named him Spanky as in the "Little Rascals"
That's it That's all there is ! The End
