    I like a quote from Clarence Thomas..."the dirty little secret about freedom is you're on your own". Also, free speech is all speech, not just speech that you agree with. Give freedom up and you'll never get it back. People throughout history have died and suffered for freedom and we're just openly giving it up for minor comforts. We should be ASHAMED!

    I like Jefferson's definition...

    "Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add “within the limits of the law,” because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."
    --Thomas Jefferson

    Any speech is Freedom of Speech as long as it is someones opinion. The sooner that we all accept this the better off we will be. It applies to everyone... I have the right to voice my opinion on anything.. I don't have the right to retaliate against someone for exercising their freedom of Speech..... It's like that old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"..... We would do well to remember this

    Not to be a stickler, but Kris Kristofferson wrote "Me and Bobby McGee", but I have to agree that Janis did the best rendition ever...

    2 & 3 are not definitions of sane or rational freedoms held in civilized societies ...

    So very wrong. The speech we need to protect is not the speech we approve of. Mel is defining freedom. This extends into speech.

    So what's your point? No one is attempting to silence Mel... Freedom of speech surely extends to those who disagree with your ideals. Does it not?

    Please provide me examples of rational/sane freedoms within a society which are without restraint, and are exempt from external control, interference, or regulations...

    True freedom holds no such constraints. This does not preclude repercussions however.
