I didnt even get a single LIKE. Imagine. I agree, Bill, yet the question I always have is , Whose Justice? Liberty to speak one’s mind, for example, should not be abused; public discourse is expected to be within bounds of decency and respect; and liberty to behave however we wish should not mean that we allow ourselves to sink into licentiousness and excess. France, herself, possess a Hate Crime law against sure behavior. France asked the Charlie Hebdo magazine, on multiple occasions to post-pone (never omit, just post-pone) editorials during global unrest. It didnt. It cost France hundreds in thousands to close schools, hospitals, constubules, and send law enforcement to secure and protect the magazine, each and every time its editorial was offensive to known hostile groups. Yet, it consisting ignored those pleas. And the cost of that freedom resulted in the loss of lives. We do reap what we sow. Freedom of Speech? For me, absolutely. Freedom of Speech with intentional abuse to harm another, a protected group, a community, a population, or a religion? Absolutely not. Even America holds a Hate Crime Bill. America even possesses laws on Libel. The question, in this regards, for me is, Where do we draw the line? The answer is , Intentional Harm. I am thankful that I have never witnessed an intentionally harmful or derogatory comment toward a protected group on your page. Even Bill Day did not support my appreciation of his Freedom of Speech, yet, that becomes his freedom of speech, as well. Oh well, the invalidity seems to circumvent, does it not? Respectfully ~~
