>>Your premise in our discussion smacked of situational ethics. You seemed to be saying that application of First Amendment rights should depend on the motivation of the speaker. I disagree with your premise.

If you don't like the notion of situational ethics, you should not employ it. Don't turn this discussion into something else. Changing the subject doesn't get it with me.<<

mph -

First, I was not saying what you say I seemed to be saying, and I am not responsible for your misinterpratation. I don't believe that First Amendment rights should be applied depending on the motivation of the speaker, and I think I stated that clearly.

I also didn't say I dislike the notion of situational ethics. I just don't like the hypocritical way in which the Right uses that phrase against the Left. You used it in that way, and I responded, after responding fully on the original subject. I don't care if that "gets it" with you or not.
