Chapter 13 - Law

1. Describe a situation in which you thought personal or public expression went too far and should be curbed? How might you remedy this situation?

I thought that during the whole proposition 8 controversy was going on that personal and public expression went way too far. There were certain commercials that were aired that really bothered me and that attacked the LDS church. There were people who grafitied sacred temples, and defiled sacred things. These personal and public expressions need to be curbed. Everyone has their right for freedom of speech and to put up whatever they want on TV, but it gets ridiculous when it tears down other people's opinions.

I don't really think there is a way to remedy these kinds of outbursts and events because people do have a right to what they can say and do. You can't take away someone's right to personal or public expression. That's just in violation of the 1st Amendment.
