When did I say there was Terry. I never even typed the words "prior restraint" in the confines of this forumn. I do get a warm fuzzy feeling all over knowing that you read enuff of my posts to respond to them though, like I just had a 'big cup of cocoa' mmm.
It would be rather dificult to impose prior restraint on speech, what would one do to restrain speech prior to its action, put jaw locks on every one and require all speech be submited in writting before authorization for release of said jaw lock. The only restraint on free speech is knowing your accountable for everything you say, and some do not even understand a thing as simple as that, leaving them utterly unrestrained. Wether I agree or not with what they say, I can say I am glad to be an American because of it. --- In [email protected], "Terry L Parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > UncoolRabbit, there is NO 'prior restraint' of one's exercise > of 'free speech' allowed by the USA Constitution! > > American IDEAL theory is for one to exercise one's freedom > AND deal with consequences; good or bad. > > -Terry Liberty Parker > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian > > > --- In [email protected], "uncoolrabbit" <uncoolrabbit@> > wrote: > > > > Freedom of association is great and all, but like all things how > > does it apply to reality.
