Also there is second (to my mind) less interesting question. If you are going to have formal right to freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion etc - do you need to explicitly add freedom of thought? ^^^ CB: Not trying to be funny ,but as long as a thought doesn't arise to speech, writing or some other form of external expression, how would the state know one was having the thought ? Seems to me pure thought is inherently "protected" from anybody but the thinker. ( Note National Basketball Associations new strict rules against any kind of expression of protest against a referee whatsoever)
