The right to freedom of speech is always an appealing notion, but what does it actually mean if you can only speak where no-one can hear you? Do you seriously imagine the Founding Fathers anticipated US citizens being coralled out of the way because they wanted to express an opinion inconvenient to the administration of the day?
Not sure how you read anything like that into what I said. Common english dictates when speaking to someone you refer to them as you or your, in this case Spanky was who I was talking to. I made no comment on the pros and cons of protesting, only that it is restricted but still a right that has not been completely taken away from us.
