What is Freedom Of Speech ?

[Rodion Romanovich]

Sedition is an act against the established government. Liberalists and sedition does not necessarily go hand and hand. One can be a liberal without advocating the violent overthrow of the established authority.

Did you see my post above? If not, please read it. If you don't want to reply to it, I'll at least ask you this question again - do you really think it should have been illegal for German citizens of the Weimar Republic to after Hitler was elected speak in favor of overthrowing the nazi government?!! At which point does it become legal to state your opinion that a governmenht should be overthrown in your opinion? Finally, do you really know of any threat to society that could be caused by people being allowed to state their opinion that a government should be overthrown? You'd better have some really good reasons for not allowing people to speak in favor or overthrowing a regime, reasons that weigh heavier than 6 million murdered Jews, Gypsies, Handicapped, and others, as well as 50 million soldiers and civilians of various countries. Your opinion of making it forbidden to speak in favor of overthrowing a government sounds very much like the "King by the grace of God" ideals of the 17th century.
