I saw on the 6 o'clock broadcast today that talked about a company lawsuit against what is blogged by an Individual.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I tried to practice If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.  This is however easier said than done.  Sometime, peoples or things gets to be too much for your emotion that you just have to let it out.  The company that is suing is saying that  what has been said about them has  damaged their credibility.  Correct me If I am wrong but, isn't that protected under our Constitution.  Freedom of speech.   Whether what was said is right or wrong.   The first Amendment rights guaranteed our freedom of speech.  It is a touchy issue to where the line is drawn.  Unless I'm putting other peoples' lives in jeopardy, I feel that as an American, I can say anything I want.  The Constitution doesn't tell me I can't say anything I want.  In fact, what I say is my right, that is guaranteed.  I can't believe this even went to litigation.   If the court rules in favor of the Plaintiff, then how dangerously close are we to loosing our freedom of speech.  Whether it's a blog or not.   Tell me what you think.
