And, lest we forget, the right to free speech only guarantees that the
government won't pass laws or take actions to directly inhibit your ability
to express an opinion.  That means the government won't interfere with you
right to say what you want, but it doesn't mean others can't decide to
limit what things they wish to hear/read.  At least in this country.
