Censorship controls what people can and can't say. How does this relate to the First Amendment?

The First Amendment is not absolute. A society has the right to dictate acceptable and not acceptable behavior.

Not necessarily. It was always a tacit assumption that the people of the community would determine for themselves what was obscene or otherwise unlawful speech.
Campaign Finance laws do, however, infringe on our 1st Amendment rights. They prohibit certain political speech by time and location, and limit our individual ability to support candidates and causes. It is this infringement that harms us more than whether we can say, "sh!t" on TV.

Listen to Chainsaw, when are fore fathers wrote freedom of speech they didn't really mean freedom of speech just some speech. Just like freedom of religion, only some religion, which is why we don't have religious teachings in schools. Get it.
