A First Amendment Junkie

             Susan Jacoby's, " A First Amendment Junkie, " is an extremely well written and
             sound argument in which readers can clearly understand the purpose. From the title, " A
             First Amendment Junkie, " she gets the readers attention and even forces them to ask the
             question: What is a " A First Amendment junkie? "
             It is clear as early as the end of the first paragraph Jacoby's thesis or major claim-

             when she stated that, " Many woman I like and respect tell me I am wrong... " -we see

             several reasons that Jacoby states that makes her argument sound, such as:
             censorship of pornography by faminist is contradictory, kiddie porn is child abuse and not
             a First Amendment issue but an issue of conduct, and the solution is for individuals, not
             the government to limit the First Amendment but rather to take on an active role in
             teaching young people what is appropriate to watch or look at on TV, movies, and
             Censorship of pornography by faminist is contradictory in that they will help
             endorse antifeminists to censor discussions and literature about the very things or " issues
             that are of vital concern to woman: ra
