As they teach you in 4th grade, free speech should be limited only by public
safety. But, of course, it gets more complicated than that in the real
world. Who gets to define "public safety"? Does it apply only to bodily
safety? (Apparently not.) If I were king of the world (or got to cast the
deciding vote:) ) the line would be bodily harm only.
There have been varying degrees of speech permitted by the US gov't.
throughout history and it seems to me that people get about as much right to
speech as they fight for.
