I don't see where it gives people the right to drop the f bomb at will. I don't think the founding fathers were walking down the street in tank tops and mullets yelling **** yeah!

Taken in the context that it was written - they were concerned with the right to express religious and political views and not be persecuted as had happened under British rule.

They had no idea that a couple hundred years later that the definitions of every word would be disected and argued over by a bunch of asshat lawyers.
