Being "accountable" for exercising a "right"? What kind of fascist clap-trap is
that?


Well, for one thing, the "facist clap-trap" of the Washington State Constitution. Well known as a hotbed of facists when written in 1889:

"Article I, Section 5"

Every person may freely speak, write and publish on all subjects, beng responsible for the abuse of that right."

Actually I had "responsible" in my post initially but changed it to "accountable" because I had already used responsible in the post. I'll be happy to go back to responsible if you prefer. Or maybe you consider that facist clap-trap too?
