Ok, so both of my articles this week kinda have something to do with umm the first amendment. Well the editorial is some what connected to freedon of the press and the article is freedom of religion. After reading these articles, I started to wonder how far can the First Amendment can be stretch out? I'am all for the freedom of speech, religion and ect. But what if the press decided to write an article on a murder, or like the movie we watched (All President Men) about the Post and Watergate? Should the press be forced to revealed their sources? It's a hard decision to make. Then we look at the freedom of religion and separation of states and church. If that was really the case, then should this sector be charged with a crime? I would, but then I would violate the law right? I think it is so nasty that polygamy and possibility incest is happening. It's just not fair and Polygamy to me is so sexes. Why it is alright for men to have more than one wives but women can't have more than one husband? Anyways back to the topic of the first amendment.
I think that the press should have the right to keep their sources secretive, because come on now, priests are allowed to keep confession as a secret thing. To think of it, being a priest is their profession and being a journalist is a profession, so if it is ok for priest not to come out and say that someone is a murderer then a journalist shouldn't be forced to give out their sources. I might sound unfair when I say this but I do think the parents of the Polygamy sector should be punished because they are hurting the poor children who should be enjoying their childhood. My two views contradict each other but I mean it's my choice and hey FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHT?
P.S. this is the last blog ever and i think Im kind of sad! I actually like this project because it allows me to talk about something that is acutually IMPORTANT! Stroud, definately keep this idea, its fun! UMMM FOUR DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL!
PEACE OUT WITH MUCHO ♥!
