Quote:Without Free Speech, why even have an opinion. If we don't get more Libertarian in this country and in the US then we will lose something everyone should have the right to have..a voice.Libertarianism is... this?:
dictionary Wrote:an extreme laissez-faire political philosophy advocating only minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens.One hardly loses their voice because of some light government interference in their lives (such as attempting to keep its people alive and well by regulating some behaviors). I agree that some things shouldn't be regulated (such as speech, what people can look at, etc)... but I'm all for moderate regulation in the business lives of people.
Quote:Even if you are a racist, bigoted fool you should still be allowed to tell people what you think, offensive or not. I do feel sorry for that Father, they picked an extremely sensitive time for him.I don't disagree... however here is another place where regulation served to be good (keeping them 1000 feet away and the like). Would you not call that a regulation on free speech?
Quote:We lose Free Speech, we lose our Humanity.
Human slaves aren't... human...? Humans have throughout history had areas lacking in the 'freeness' o their speech... are you telling me they weren't humans?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
