Flys, I know what I am saying is not perfect--I agree it is as grey as the current norms, and I generally agree with your last statement. Yes, everyone is going to be offended--and no there is no constitutional protection against being offended...Where I think we go wrong is overlegislation on both sides--The left and the right both have a vision of the country, both think that it is the proper "social norms based on the true benefits or detriments to a society", and do their best to pass the laws that bring about their vision--I think that a lot of the time, those laws just flat don;t need to be passed...The government doesn;t "nothing" enough stuff--it passes laws about everything--to appease the minority or the majority...unfortunately-- I think everyone in this country is negatively affected by this...
