23. Banning "hate speech" sounds all rosey ...
since people(iif you can call them that) like Rush Limpballs, Coultergeist and the Phelps Kult over excercise their free/hate speech. But, you also have the right to stand right across from them and mock them openly and freely. You also have the right to dissent the Government based on the First Admendment.

As wonderful as banning hate speech may seem, the dark side of doing so is far worse. I could not imagine not beinging able to say FUCK YOU SHRUB YOU FACIST FUCK!
