RE: SS

[eric . laney]

Freedom of speech, like all freedoms, is not absolute.  Just as I can't
falsely yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre or spout baseless defamatory or
libelous statements, neither can I commit assault.  It just so happens that
if I commit assault against the leader of my country, there is a special
branch of law enforcement that will investigate.

But don't you consider that to be an infringement of your freedom of
speech.
Surely there is therefore an implicit 'threat' that you will be monitored
and action taken if you speak out of line.

Where does it end?

Will,

I don't know if you guys are "sheltered," but given Americans'
historic
penchant for assassinating Presidents, our Secret Service tries to
gather as much information as possible on anything remotely
resembling a
threat. To paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones, in MIB, "Ma'am, the Secret
Service doesn't have a sense of humor that we're aware of."
