The U.S Constitution

Please see this site of: http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html

The U.S Constitution was specifically designed and written by our countries forefathers around the times in which they lived and there of, outlining several resolutions for the societal problems that they faced in that day.

Well, it has been quite some time sense we've really updated the Constitution simply because everything seem to be working rather well, until now. Until some started abusing the civil the civil right of other in a most serious way especially over the uncharted internet.

Sure, we've made some adjustments to it over the years however, even these sub-provisions to the amendments are growing obsolete and need further updating in themselves concerning the serious problems we now find ourselves facing currently.

I personally believe that there's a few areas that should be caught up to date regarding our constitution such as the first amendments right to free speech is holding a person accountable for what they say or project over a mass medium to the public.

The first amendment shouldn't be changed in the way of inhibiting any part of free speech or expression, but in holding a speaker or author liable for the speech, writing or music they generate in the course of free speech and expression that further effects the public in any way, shape or form.

If the speech, visual art, or sound adversely effects any part of the societal whole then they the author shall be held liable to any harm that it might cause.

Is this censorship? No, because it's not a state or government hindering the speech even though the ramifications for damage or harm might be coming from that particular or government.

However, it does place the choice, responsibility and accountability back in to the arena of the artist, writer, producer, author or speaker in what they generate such as what the public might read, watch or listen to in the way of entertainment or political statement.

This sounds like censorship at its worst however we as a society need to start thinking about what's not only good for us and our children but what is beneficial to us as a country.

Produces of any movie or script writer should make sure in the message that their trying to convey doesn't have any room left in it that can be misconstrued, and the same goes for song writers and what a politician might say to the public.

We as a nation have to understand that the common person looks up to us, idolizes us, mimic us in every way. Watch the children and see how they mimic our actions be they in private or in the public eye and realize that like kids, some adults and young adults are impressionable. In other words, some things are left better unheard or unseen by some.

The F.CC, was at one time the safety catch back in the 60's 70's 80's and 90's however, it would seem that they have their hands tied up these days in light of the constitutional disputes of free speech and the civil suits that have been brought against them as a result.

Let's face it, not everything someone creates artistically, or speaks out on needs to make it to the air ways, book shelves, stores or on the internet. Why? simply because it's purely harmful and down right evil in some cases, or has a advert negative effect on certain segment of the populace.

Quite honestly, certain art work, speech and melody or song really shouldn't be looked at as free speech or constructive expression especially when it crosses the line of harmful or invokes untruthful speech, death threats, inciting violence, or even death, commuting or inciting intolerance, inciting violence through violent image, writings, video or suggestive lyric.

Yes, we can tell ourselves that negative speech or expression is all good and further continue to allow this detrimental expression for the next 200 years, Or we can use our common sense in having the realization that some of this trash is actually advert, or extremely harmful to us as a society, and further against the very American values that we hold so true.

In short, just because someone wants to preach hate and intolerance toward gays, blacks, whites, women of foreign nationals, It doesn't mean that we have to condone this sort of thing by making it legally possible for hateful persons to vent these various forms of intolerance and hatred not only over the internet but on the various platforms in our cities as well.

When we give organizations like the K.K.K, Skin Heads or a person like this reverent Phelps a podium to preach his hate from, and further provide him a place to peaceably assemble, then were condoning and promoting these given groups through inaction or improper action. Hate and intolerance should be unlawful no matter the form it takes.

Let me ask you something, If you were to see a picture of a young person hanging themselves on the Internet would this serve your mental health in any way? Or what if you heard a song on the radio advocating the beating of females and children, Would this serve your emotional growth in any way?

Let me further ask you, If you had someone talking trash about you over the internet just because this was their right of free speech, a way for them to vent their intolerance and hate against your race, life style or religious background, is this what's considered to be free expression? Or is this violation against a persons civil rights that could possible be a precursor to a criminal act in some cases.

Would this not bother you in some way? Would it harm, or serve your emotional or spiritual growth, and is it staying true to the Constitution in guarding your civil rights? And what about any others that might be subjected to this negative content both adults and children alike? Does it serve them in any way? This is all currently going on and allowed under the right to free speech and or the freedom of expression.

I also believe that distinct or specific language should be implemented in the separation of a given certain amendment from that of other federal laws in light that some would take certain laws and bend their meanings from the actual intent of that particular law.

Case in point, grouping and applying the first amendment right of free speech and or, the freedom of expression with other later formed federal laws such as the Federal Whistle Blowers act and Federal Communications Decency act.

In this instance, wouldn't you find this to be a convenient way to not only bend federal and civil laws to your liking, but go on to profit financially from such laws? It is through this practice of taking a law out of context, twisting and abuse that opens such laws up to even more eventual abuses and this is why we must close the loop.

Of course this has a lot to do with those on the internet mostly in their twisting and abusing of these certain laws that moreover really have nothing to do with the original writings in the Constitution over all, or the first amendment in it's proper context, as far as I know. It's all about exploitation and financial gain for some and noting is safe as a result.

In this last instance some have decided to compile these three federal actions together in the so called names and pursuit of excising their constitutional rights of free speech and expression, yet profiting through their abuse and further nose thumbing their contempt at the law makers etc.

When the F.CC, or over all federal government allows others in carrying out these types of activity, they are in turn allowing, condoning and promoting certain persons in violating the civil rights of unknown countless other people on the internet and in private or off line.

This last paragraph is primary directed at what we know as the gripe sites or scam sites such as Rip Off Report found at www.ripoffreport.com . This site and others like it can be considered the perfect storm consistently made up or composed of slander and liable. It's sites such as this that lays the ground work down for the daily violation of civil rights through the perversion of state, federal and other constitutional laws.

To give unlimited reign to free speech, or to yield the rights to free speech without liability is simply not prudent on any level. The internet is really a problem that needs immediate attention because it's through free speech mainly, that hateful acts, intolerance and violence is carried out through various abuses, as you've read above.

When we fail in placing safety catches on free speech in the way of liability for what one says then this in itself lets the Genie out of the bottle. The challenge here, is in moderation concerning the safety checks without inhibiting productive free speech, or the right to speak ones mind in the way of constructive criticism and self-expression.

So, In order to make everyone stand behind their statements both on the internet and land bass we would have to start by enforcing legal liability on those in the public eye, or having anything to do with the public.

Next, we hammer down hate speech and other forms of speech, or expression that procreates a negative sentiment, or physical harmful out come to others through making examples of the offenders with heavy fines and possible extended jail time.

We as a society have no problem in pursuing, arresting and imprisoning sexual predators be they convicted or not and yet, They view their criminal activity in the way of child pornography as a form of art and expression.

They obviously further feel that they have the right to express or share this filth with one another. Yes, we do catch them locally and arrest them at times but what happens when they go national or internationally over the internet? Answer, Not much. Does this not pose a problem and violate the rights of children? The very right to grow up in a safe environment free of sexual predators.

We have folks in this country advocating cannibalism and a whole bunch of other grotesque causes subject matter while excising their rights to free speech, would you want someone like this living next door to you? Well, their right down the street from you.

We view the white supremest statements as free speech and moreover yield them the right to peaceably assemble in our cities, that is until it turns violent or deadly. We allow other racial groups the right to assemble as well while projecting their hate and intolerance on the public because we want to be fair to everyone, we want to be politically correct, right?

Do you really think our founding fathers had all this in mind when drafting up the United States Constitution? I don't think they had a clue, if you ask me. In fact, I believe that if they could be present here with us today they would most certainly snatch their quail pens up and start making a few changes right off the bat.

Again, it basically comes back to common sense when it comes to your free speech and the right to express yourself, but like anything else in the world, there will be criminals whom only seek to pervert and abuse even sacred things not to mention our constitutional laws. They abuse and twist everything for reasons of self-gain or profit.

Folks such as this can be compared to criminals likened to Prantil who only screams about her civil rights when she can't profit financially or twist them in a effort to cause loss or pain to another human being.

Criminals great and small only care about our laws when they can use them to their personal benefit and so, when the law becomes inconvenient to them they have no need for our laws. Why should those of us that play by the rules care or include persons like prantil or other criminals likened to her be given the same protection we have? Answer, they shouldn't.

We are 300 million strong as a nation, we are the majority and the criminals are the minority and this should cause them concern.

There's a great number of us who still believe in the old values of proper living ranging from those in the entertainment industry, law enforcement, political arena and various forms of media, civil rights and humanitarian organizations who I believe will take a stand against these problem issues and win.

I also believe that main stream media will play a Hugh part in all of this social and political reform simply because they have retained a high standard of professionalism along with a healthy and respectful view of the first amendment along with many other groups, in my opinion.

I really think the internet world could take a lesson or two from the media platforms such as the White House Press Core, C.N.N, A.B.C, H.B.O and the B.B.C just to name a few of these exemplary news agencies to numerous to mention here. I believe these forms of media to be the voice of reason that will eventually pull us all together in the common goal, what do you think?

Liability And Penalties To Free Speech

Just because a person has the ability and right to speak their mind doesn't mean that a person can say or vent their opinion without grounds, or some level of fact backing up that given opinion, ethically and morally speaking.

Just because we hold the right to speak our minds doesn't mean that we have the legal right to call and leave death threats on the answering machines of public officials, that we ourselves may or may not have placed into that particular office.

We don't have the legal freedom to throw bricks or threaten to catch homes a blaze just because we don't agree with a certain stand someone makes. Yes, agree to disagree as time has a way of solving the disagreement for us.

Yes, freedom of speech and unproductive criticism should have real liabilities to it that further has financial and loss of freedom repercussions as well. In our case, freedom of speech has allowed a fruit loop stalker to harass and slander us for four years now, this shouldn't be happening yet, it does all over the country and to many others besides ourselves.

When someone promotes hate through destructive speech we can safely say that it eventually leads to violent out comes in some instances, it causes adverse health conditions and other non-productive things as well. It moreover allows the violation of civil rights supposedly guarded under the Constitution that seemingly go unenforced.

Again, in our case, and in the many other cases similar to ours, free speech is abused and turned into a viable weapon that can, and has been used to violate not only our civil rights but lead to other actions geared to destroy a life, business or over all good name. Fortunately, our stalker is not very bright and fails all most 100 present of the time lol

So in essence, on the premiss that our laws of free speech are vaguely set up though the constitution, I would surmise that it directly contributes to the harassment of others along with allowing other statements to be made that are intrinsically harmful or counterproductive to a ordered society.

Free speech, or the right to express ones self should be limited to productive statement of fact and stooped at counterproductive mug slinging, ungrounded accusations or any thing there after that can be construed as harmful or imminently dangerous to any part of society both physically or reputation wise.

Stalking Through Abusive Speech And Penalties

Regarding the issue of stalking be it over the internet or land based stalking. Stalking while abusing free speech over any electronic medium having to do with internet specially, should constitute a felony on the highest level and further be equal to other more serious charges such as hacking or internet fraud.

Moreover the misapplied laws of anonymity should be completely done away with regarding the internet as this was a law enacted to protect federal witnesses concerning the witnesses program, it has nothing to do wit the internet. The federal electronic decency act should be modified in holding mandated liability to the site owner for whatever may be posted on their sites in the way of statements, much like a news paper or television broadcast of news content.

Again, this law is abused and perversely twisted in its application on the gripe sites such as www.ripoffreport.com. The site cited previously has absolutely nothing to do with the press media and further are more or less breading grounds for hate and intolerance for profit under the guise of free speech and whistle blowing.

This is another abused federal law as if a person is posting untruths on a particular site against another then how is this perceived as blowing the whistle from open online slander. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't this law something to do with federal employees turning in acts of corruption against a federal office? How does this apply to the internet or a gripe site?

Concerning land based stalking, I would say that the constitution affords a person the freedom of living their life in a unobstructed way to pursue liberty, prosperity or over all happiness in life and thus, stalking by another impends this process through the victims fear of imminent harm or persecution coming from the stalker etc.

In short, the free speech and movement of the stalker, that is by action or behavior, an abusive act in victimizing of another, should be looked upon as the violation of the civil rights of the victim in question. I believe that stalking actions such as this should be made a liable offense under federal law and taken out of the realm of misdemeanor offenses.

Of course, heavy fines should be mandated for first and second time offenders and periods of incarceration for repeat offenders. Stalking on whatever level isn't a joke guys, and further should be upgraded to a federal level simply because it seriously impedes, obstructs and contributes to quality of life.

The abuse of any form of communication, or media via the commission of this crime should be recognized as counts, as is all ready in practice in some states.

Politicians carrying firearms -An Act Of Desperation

I had tuned in to C.N.N one evening and began watching a report mentioning that a head of state or two were considering, and proposing in one instance that they were going to start carrying of concealed weapons for personal protection, not only for personal protection off the clock but during working hours as well.

I agree with them in that they should all start carrying some form of protection however there are certain liabilities that have to be considered before doing so.

This is a act of despotism born out of deluded or weakened laws, or no such laws on the books in addressing the safety of political persons holding various offices currently. In essence, laws in addressing hostile speech coming from others against congressional or senatorial members that induce immediate fear of imminent harm or death upon them or their families.

Recent death threats have been subsequently, or allegedly had been made against certain political members whom are currently holding offices in high government and as a consequence has brought yet another issue up that our laws haven't properly addressed adequately enough, or not at all in some instances.

Especially, when it came down to unknown persons using a given medium such a telephone to directly convey what they, or a victim perceived to be as a real threat to personal well being or personal safety to self and family members etc.

These political persons are now finding out that laws in play that safeguard the presentational office from hostile speech and or action do in fact place limitations on free speech indirectly via harsh consequences to unproductive or threatening speech and or, death threat via any form of medium.

laws restricted and designed to protect the presidential office and the inhabitance therein that don't really extend to, or protect other government bodies, or society on the whole, at this time any way.

People consider carrying, or do in fact carry firearms for many reasons however, the primary reason is in that they don't feel safe with a current set of laws, or in that their engaged in a high risk security job setting that requires a sidearm for personal safety etc.

Most private folks carry weapons because they feel that certain laws aren’t outlined in such a way that protect them in a sufficient way and thus, they take on this responsibility personally. I believe this to be the case currently concerning political personnel wanting to carry firearms for personal protection during work hours.

What makes matters even worse in this case, is when political fugues are trying to do a job only to find that someone has thrown a brick through the windows of office or home with a nasty message attached to it. This isn't a good thing and further suggest loss of control and mass archery. More in this topic under gun control.

Freedom Of Speech And Religion

Like the freedom to speak your mind, or to exsert your opinions on a public platform be it over of electronic medium, or in a assembled group setting, common sense and values apply here as well.

Yes, we have the right to define and practice our religious beliefs under the existing federal law as long as it doesn't impose our beliefs on, or go against the well being of others. Anything that promotes hate, intolerance or tyrannical behavior isn't spiritually backed no matter what a person says in defense of their actions.

The key here is: “Don't impose your views or beliefs on others” , To hold a given ideology or spiritual value, or set of values within a faith system is one thing as it only effects a person or group directly through their personal choice.

In other words, Some parts of Islam shouldn't impose their system of belief on a Christian group and the Christian organizations shouldn't be moving into a Islamic system of faith in their own land especially, while pushing their system of belief onto unreceptive persons.

In the matter of belief and faith system, It's a ideology formed out of personal experience and the belief therein of a given unfolding of events, further relayed by the teachings of a proclaimed leader of that particular faith system and more so, what merit the followers bestow to that leader in the way of spiritual accomplishments.

So, religion and faith systems are beliefs that change with changing circumstance in a persons life no matter how dogmatic the system may or may not be.

Further, it would be egotistically charged to believe that one particular way or faith was right over another not alone starting up holy wars over the ideology in question simply because the two factions could not, or would not succeed in convincing the other of who was right and who wasn't.

Subsequently the question remains “If the tree falls in the forest did it make a sound if no one was around to hear it” Matters of faith and religion can not be discerned with fact or reason but thrive through faith in a perceived occurrence.

Faith is speculation, summation and theory based on ancient documents in some cases. Textual content put fourth as a guide for proper living that moreover yield the basic in depth instructions and resolutions for a given problem that a society may or may not be experiencing.

I hold true to my own personal observations that spiritual faith and a belief is something higher then yourself by whatever name known, It is by its very nature or ideology something that works towards both a spiritual, societal and environmental harmony on whatever level.

Positive Spiritual values no matter the system works to promote success and longevity not only on a personal level but on a community level through subscribing to a set of spiritual principles designed for self-preservation and global peace.

And thus, a spiritual belief by its very nature should invariably be adverse or opposite to promoting hate, intolerance or violence to any degree and on whatever level.

So in essence, if a group believes in war and violence in the name of Divinity, then that group hides behind spiritually as a false faith system, or under its guise to incite violence in the name of God. To accomplish an evil task in the name of good.

I believe that the spiritual views along with other positive values should be promoted in the schools yet, I also believe that fair time should be given to all brands of non harmful spiritual pursuit including non-spiritual groups such as agnostic or atheistic views as they have something valuable to offer, or contribute as well.

I know this will never happen as most are anchored in their dogmatic views and there for, won't afford our young in making up their own minds about things of a spiritual nature. It is also by this same principle or learned behavior that racial intolerance and views of violence are perpetuated and exchanged from generation to generation.

By educating our young pertaining to education in spiritual diversity, this in itself would cut away spiritual extremism and promote individualism at the same time.

Of course, fair time should be given to Darwinism and other scientific disciplines as since is the finite study to all things spiritual in the psychical manifest. It's about giving our children options for mental growth and freeing them from long held dogmas that are failing or don't work.

The question we must ask ourselves: Will we allow horrendous things to continue in the name of religion or religious extremism, or will we teach our children to to explore the endless possibilities of spiritual interaction and pursuit, thinking for ones self and holding responsibility and accountability for what they think, say and carry’s out against their neighbors, this is the key issue here.

I would say that Dogma is the archenemy of free thinking or psychological growth, what do you think?. I do believe in a higher power yet, I also believe that we should be realistic in tuning up our problem solving skills through reason and deduction. Why should anyone or anything give us the answers to everything and take away all the fun of experiencing life as it is.

Another point that I'd like to mention is in that as the lack of spiritual values, moral guidance and leadership on occasion, we have become a lost nation to our own devices however, and again, it's not a lost cause as it all starts with a societal value and merit system passed down to our young.

Religion, unlike a open faith system to where a person can grow through assimilation and free thinking, religion in itself can be a dangerous thing that promotes short sightedness, misunderstanding, intolerance, hate, violence and death via cashing ideologies and the failing to meet each other half way.

It is through these extremest and twisted views of a set belief system that intolerance and violence occurs as can be cited cases after case all over the world. Why? because religious structure and belief systems can be defined in numerous or countless ways even though they are steeped in dogma.

The next time religion comes up in the conversation, please recognize it as a ideology and faith based system NOT TO DIE for. A system built on a certain set of principles, moral and standers that one chooses to live according to, like anything in life. To die in the name of religion is abstract to what that religion is trying to convey.

It's all most like fighting and dieing over “Gone with the wind” because someone else didn't like the text and said something nasty about it. Faith and over all religion if legitimate is about life and not death. It's about growing a a people and being good for and to one another and nothing to do with conflict.

Yet, like all ideologies or ideas, they change as the person changes, nothing to get up set about, nothing to die over, not an excuse to harass or harm your neighbor, not a good excuse to impose your beliefs on another. Religion isn't an excuse to persecute, beat up, harass, dominate, control or kill, Did you hear that world? I hope so, for Heavens sake.

This means anyone proclaiming themselves to be of a spiritual nature really shouldn't be out there making statements such as “ I'm on a mission from God”, or “ I represent God” or “I love Jesus” while in the same breath bashing someone else because of their sexual preference, race, gender, religion or political association as this is contrary to spiritualism in every way.

Yes, we are afforded the rights to peaceable assemble, or even to protest against a certain issue yet, to protest someone else s funeral on the grounds of a one time held sexual preference, is down right disrespectful and disgraceful.

Further, has nothing to do with Divinity or spiritual values especially should you believe that God is perfect in every way and not capable of shout sightedness, or capable of mistakes etc. In the matter of burning any holy text, the same premise applies.

Two Voices In 300 Million

We are only two voices in 300 million calling for change and reformation in a country that we love so much. I'm sure, there are many out there that would find fault with our suggestions yet, we live in strange times and our country is in parallel as a result of many things occurring both domestically and abroad.

We are only two people that have been watching the decline of a great nation for years that moreover feel, that we as a part of that nation shouldn't go whimpering off into the night due to not venting our concerns, or in offering our constrictive criticisms.

Were not political annalist or experts, and wouldn't know the political right from the left, nor are we proficient in the laws of the constitution or general laws therein however, we are effected immensely like you, when others abuse our laws and rights as American citizens.

We feel that our voices as a nation need to be heard in one collective and resounding voice in order to reverse the harm that has occurred In this country over the years. Were not professional writers nor do we lobby or take part in any organization in government yet, we have serious concerns about the nations future along with our own.

You don't have to be a political annalist to see what's going on in this country no more then being a professional writer, new caster or someone holding a office, just someone trying to make it in the world is all it requires. Many of the things we've stated in the ways of suggestion is just that, a suggestion.

A suggestion or idea that can be built on, a concept that can be improved upon, a statement that can be pondered and possibly refined and made better.

Many of these suggestions above address serious issues, some of these suggestions may be considered extreme in nature, but the problems we endure at this time are just as extreme. Some times extreme situations require something just as extreme in the way of resolution.

Dogma is the great enemy of change and change is the slayer of outmoded ways that no longer work in whatever area. This is a call in learning from the past to prevent us in repeating that negative past in the future days to come.

Were all cut from the same cloth, we are the family of humanity striving towards the common goal being liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Let's remember our fallen in battle all they way back to the beginning, and what these courage men and women whom freely gave up their lives in the pursuit of liberty. Ask yourselves, are we doing them justice in honoring their memories?

The freedoms that we take for granted are the same freedoms that were paid dearly for in American blood upon every battlefield, from the killing fields of Europe to the blood soaked grounds of Gettysburg and thus, are we honoring their memories in the right way? Were their deaths in vain?

Are we remembering those whom fell so gallantly during World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm? and what they were fighting for? wasn't it something about freedom and human rights? A nation honors its fallen by guarding the dream that the solder fought and died for and thus, are we honoring their memory in a way that pays tribute to these fallen Heroes?

And what about the Heroes who perished in the Trade Towers, how will we honor their memories? Do you really think building a iron ship in their memory is really what they would have wanted? Were they not Americans one and all whom bought into the American dream.

Do we not have a oblation to keep their memories alive by honoring them in a way that keeps America strong and proud? We do this by spitting in the face of adversity and terrorism by remaining a sovereign nation whom further respects every aspect of the Constitution.

Yes, we as a nation have many things to think about past all the complaining and nasty behavior, don't you think? Like I've said before, It's not so much where we wake up and find ourselves standing so much as it matters where we choose to go from there.

Does finger pointing really matter? Or who did what to who after a while. Doesn't it matter more to unite, put our differences aside and solving our problems together.

I hope we make the right choices in the future days to come as we don't need the second fall of Rome here in America. Like I said before, it will take a lot of sacrifice, hard work and selflessness to bring America back to what it once was.

It will take free thinking out side of the box to lead us out of these turbulent times. America is still here and it hasn't gone anywhere however, she needs a overhaul here and there, it's a small matter once we put our combined efforts in fixing these issues.

Thank You so much for taking the time to read this page.
