Free Speech is meaningless as a concept unless it protects speech that makes you want to punch out the clown that said it. Agreeable speech needs no protection; there is only free speech when the most contemptable of opinions enjoys the same freedom of expression that the most agreeable beliefs may be seen to posess. This country makes an attempt at it, which is laudable; but Free Speech is still an ideal which has not achieved full empowerment in this country.
