re: Free Speech
There is no such thing as freedom without responsibility. If you seperate responsibility from freedom, all that is left is licentiousness.
That said, I am pretty close to being a First Amendment (that is; freedom of speech and the press) absolutist. In my opinion, all citizens should be absolutely free to say or publish whatever they want, and absolutely responsible for the consequences of what they say or publish.
