YouTube Video: Penn and Teller defining our 1st Amendment rights
This YouTube video is taken from Penn and Teller's television show, "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" They say that we all posses a 1st amendment right that grants everyone and anyone the right to say or do whatever they want. This is shown through Penn and Teller words and action. The rely on heavy imagery to display what they are trying to say. For example, the removal of the clothing, chairs, and other dining items to show that if you want to make change then you should do it. Penn and teller are telling us that it is not the government job to regulate and control our free speech writes. However, Penn and Teller argument has some weakness to it. We do live a place where anybody can say anything they want to. Some people are to weak to stand up. Who will stand up for the weak and the forgotten? That is the problem with the idea that everybody can speak. Sometimes there are people who cannot and the government sometimes needs to help these people.
