Free speech is nothing. Free listening, that is where the problem lays. People can't choose what they are subjected to. Yes you can turn off the radio or the T.V., and avoid people who may cause conflict. But not facing the things that MAY offend you is not a very free life. It is a sheltered one.

Anyone concerned with the definition of free speech should rent the film "This Film Has Not Yet Been Rated".
It is eye opening...
