Exactly. I've written online on plenty of occasions that the best thanks I could get for my service would be for the other to exercise their rights vigorously, even in causes I oppose.
Hell, yeah! Of all the rights we have, I think freedom of speech is the most important. I'd rather there be an army Fred Phelp's spouting their bile than mess with free speech. We can deal with that as long as we have our own voice. If we're silenced though, I don't think any of our other rights and freedoms would matter much. We certainly wouldn't be in a position to keep them for long.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
