My definition is freedom from persecution from the STATE for what one says. Specifically, I would define it as the freedom to criticize without fear of repercussions. I'm sure there are other ways you could define it, but I think definining it as the right to use obcenities without any regulation is just plain silly.

What exactly makes an obscenity obscene? Aside from something obscene being labled an obscenity of course.
Didn't a former justice of the SCOTUS give a famous answer to that question, which AFAIK has not been superseded . . .
