”Let me ask you - where do the "limitations" come from? Who decides where my right to freedom of speech ends … “ You two made a logical leap that did not compute for me. Inalienable rights are, by my understanding, a given state of being that helps define what a human being is; and whereas, speech is an innate quality of humanness, its expression has to do with conduct, which may well be limited and rightfully so. Individual rights are human centered and although they are recognized as individual, they exist within the larger context of humanness which recognizes human beings as social creatures with responsibilities for others. In that context it is right for human beings to consider the well being of one another, other creatures, and the biomes of the Earth and to act accordingly. I see no contradiction or inconsistency, which would bar the government from providing sanction to individuals who, by their conduct, are choosing to harm others.
