So, you value the freedom to, let's say, publish a racist cartoon in which you mock the humanity of a black person, perhaps say, by putting Mickey Mouse ears on a racist caricature of Martin Luther King, Jr. and titling it "Stupid Nigger". Good. I value that freedom also. But, do you also value the freedom that I value, namely, the freedom to then call the person who published this a blatant racist and to call for a boycott of their work? Bill
