Unless you assume that the other residents don't have a right to the quiet enjoyment of their homes. You once told me that that was an inadequate rationale for limiting commercial establishments to certain areas. Of course it would only be an infringement if the gov't were to pass a law outlawing the radio talk show. Reasonable enough, but I have heard people refer to such boycotts in such terms frequently, so it is actually a good example of the kind of abuse of the term I am complaining about. No comments on that First Amendment controversy? I am inclined to say that it falls on the permitted side of the border between tolerable and intolerable risks to society, but it is indeed borderline.
