Ball of Confusion

While freedom of expression is a fundamental right in America that should be protected, it also requires responsibility and accountability. People should be aware of the impact their words can have on others and should avoid using their freedom of expression to cause harm.

On the other hand, some offenses are rather predictable, if not intentional (let’s cash in on controversy).
