>So you're opposed to absolute, unbridled freedom of speech? How do you feel about protesters walking around with signs saying things like "No Blood for Oil"? Or referring to Bush as a Nazi? Well, "No Blood for Oil" is OK, it's just a general statement. Referring to Bush as a Nazi is a bit different of a story, as it's referring to a specific person, but I guess since he's a public citizen, it's legal, and I'm not quite sure how to regulate it (though if someone could come up with a way, I'd be happy to hear them out). The swastika and Confederate symbols alone, and I couldn't see making them illegal- however, I think it would be right to ban their use by government officials. However, the second anyone starts calling others to arms against the blacks, the Jews, or any other group, I think he or she should be locked up. That's akin to what's always said about yelling fire in a crowded movie theatre. I'm not quite sure where to draw the line here. -Z
