The First Amendment is a necessary evil, Afs. If you took the American way of life and reduced it to a few paragraphs, it would spell out the First Amendment because it equals freedom.

But there are times (like with the Westboro Church, for instance) when you almost wish that that particular freedom wasn't there. Almost.

Hiding behind the First Amendment to further a radical cause is disgusting and it isn't what the Founding Fathers intended. But like I said, it's a necessary evil and a small trade-off when you look at the big picture.
