The current state of our Country and government is largely what the Anti-Federalists feared and warned us about during the Constitutional Conventions and ratifying. These concerns are what gave us our Bill of Rights and the articles that defined and provided for the checks and balances of our government. The ignoring of the Constitution is why we have the tyranny and oppression of today.
If the government were to determine that bullying caused the bullied to commit suicide, and that the bullying was the result of attacks via social media gone bad - and then demanded restrictions on use of words and/or social media to save one victim, or 100, what would your opinion be? Don't laugh -- its not farfetched and there has been talk of it. That's okay, the First Amendment is old and archaic - our Founding Fathers didn't have social media or mass communications or rapid fire words and insults in mind.
