"Freedom Of Speech" with some food for thought:
On private property? never!
On public property? according to law; noise, pollution, etc.
Problem is, we do not exercise existing law; ie motorcycle noise,
Hollywood mufflers, boom-boxes, concert and sport sound systems, etc.
Nor do we issue penalties for pollution problems; ie bums
living/sleeping in parks, discarded or posted demonstration material, etc.
Newspapers/magazines? no problem, we purchase the "speeches".
Over the air radio and TV? we can turn it off.
Cable and satellite? That's a REAL problem! We pay for the
service(information), including "Free Speech" like religious
"missionaries", etc, and may NOT be what we were offered at the time of
subscribing, meaning we should theoretically have a case against the
cable/satellite provider. :-)
Outside the country? no problem! Simply no concern of our embassies or
consulates. (that was wishful thinking!) :-)
