Amendment Number One

The First Amendment is a simple paragraph.  You can find it anywhere, in souvenir shops, in libraries, in textbooks.  It speaks to the best of us.  To those who are different, it gave them life.  No matter what religion you are, no matter what anyone wants to say, the first amendment guarantees that people are free to do so.  They have the power to  question authority, to "assemble peacefully," and establish any religion desired.  However, as said by a professor once, "Where do we draw the line?"  As liberating as that little paragraph at the start of the Bill of Rights is, there has to be a point where what you say, and what you do, have consequences.   We are all fundamentally free, but everyone has to understand that there's a limit.  How can we do this in today's society, when every person out there, wants to believe and say anything?
