"Land of the Free"

I live in this country dubbed "the land of the free". Yep, it's free alright. Here, people place too much emphasis on freedom of speech. They value the 'right' to speak your mind more than the actual value of what you've said. Voice your opinion no matter how dumb it is. It must be heard! That is your right. You proclaim the world is flat and take followers with you. Worship Hitler if you like and create a religion of it.
Freedom here comes without much responsibility. You have the KKK, the white supremacists, free to form and congregate...even go on a town rally. They round up and shout that only whites deserve to live. I guess what follows is that everyone else deserves to die.
Are you up for creating your own neo-nazi group and website? That's part of your freedom as well. You have this kid that just went shooting people in his school because of the twisted ideals posted and shared in that site. Nope, you can't take the site down. They have the right to post their opinions and ideas. They never encouraged the kid to shoot anyone. They're not in violation!
You have superstars who say "I just say what I want to say" when asked "Aren't you concerned of what your young fans and audience would get from your lyrics?"
Land of the free. Where idiots that either lack attention or carry enormous amounts of psychopathic gene in their bodies are free to roam and proclaim their oh so mighty beliefs.
