Fredisms on Social Media

Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing; something to be cherished for sure, but it sure can be confusing sometimes. You can say whatever you want about anything regardless of whether what you're saying has any basis in fact and that's free speech, my friend...so long as it isn't about yourself. Apparently, a different set of standards apply when it comes to "misremembering" something that you did (or claimed to have done). As far as I can tell, facts are facts, and mistruthes are mistruthes regardless of the forum or context in which they are made. In other words, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck...it's probably a duck.
