| Message | this is why we need a first amendment and/or a general bill of rights in our constitutions. Hate speech, no matter how misguided are asinine, is still free speech, in our view, as long as it does not incite action. I may not agree with what they have to say, but I will defend to the death their right to say it, to quote a famous philosophe. |
