That saddens me Louis; I thought you supported freedom of speech.

In the past few years, freedom of speech has become some sort of one-size-fits-all human right, applicable in any situation, overriding all other considerations.

Here's a thought experiment: I want to express myself by spray painting 'Female Rabbits have furry backs' on your plasma tv in your living room. Should you a) have to endure it because, well, freedom and speech and all? Or b) shoot me off your property?


Our heckler has got freedom of speech. This does not give him unlimited rights of, say, disturbing the peace, of breaking-and-entering, of spraying graffitti anywhere etc.
