Free speech entails risk. That's the whole point of living in a free society, and that's the problem with people today. They want all the benefits of a free society, but only if they come wrapped up in risk free party paper. I don't think so. This country was founded by men who were willing to die, and potentially lose all their property rights for free speech (and other freedoms)- and you want it to be curtailed because the police might not be effective enough in keeping the citizenry down? Free speech means nothing if you don;t have the right to really offend people. Polite speech, that risks nothing, isn't the kind of speech that needs protection.
