Sex, Scandal, and Severe Weather: Twisting Up a Passive Mass

When does 'freedom of speech' clash with 'inciting a riot'? Sure, we're free to speak liberally in this country, but without respect to the responsibility each of us have to speak the Truth, where does it end? Ulterior motives, politics, and demonstrating our First Amendment merely for the sake of crying foul at any out-lash are all petty, immature, and selfish. There are many people who watch, listen, and read without critically thinking and can, if one chooses, be smoothly persuaded to move as an angry mob.

"He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game."

-Only a Pawn In Their Game, Bob Dylan
