First amendment and Fahrenheit

After reading The first section of Fahrenheit, I can see why we discussed the first amendment in class. Throughout the first section I probably thought about the first amentmant about 5 times while I was reading. The big part of the first amendment was about having freedome but you must maintain peace. Peace is the key word. Throughout this reading I thought that the fire men and everyone else who is considered "normal" in the book cared too much about maintaining peace throughout their community.
For example, on page 59 Beatty explained, "You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can't have our minorities uspet and stirred... People want to be happy..Don't we keep them moving dont we give them fun?" Then he later explains how by saying, "Colored people don't like little black sambo. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The ciggarette people are weeping? Burn the book. Serenity, Montag. Peace, Montag. Funerals are unhappy and pagan? Eliminate them, too."
I think Beatty is using the first amendment as an excuse to say that everyone wants peace and the only way to maintain peace throughout everyone is to make sure everyone is the same and all the "bad" things are eliminated.
Beatty thinks everything that makes anyone unhappy or sad should be destroyed. He believes life would be so much easier and so much better. I don't think this is what the first amendment is saying should be done at all! I just think that the book is using the first amendment as an excuse for the sick characters that want to take the easy way out and make everyone almost the same and somewhat happy.
I'm pretty sure that Guy realizes now (and that clarisse had already figured out a long time ago) that making everyone the same is a horrible idea. That people need to be challenged every day because it helps them learn, it helps them become an individual. Peace can still be maintained even if everyone isn't the same and even if some people disagree on certain things.
