Wrong. You lost the argument right there in your example.

There is NO, I repeat, NONE, reason to restrict Free speech. There are no conditionals associated with ANY of our Rights.

Anyone MAY shout ‘FIRE!’ in a crowded theater. And, as long as there is a fire, nothing will/should ever happen legally to the voice of warning. If NOT, then they are prosecuted for the mayhem/riot that might ensue. THAT is what has been perverted....not the CONSEQUENCES of ones actions, but the WORDS.

But I refuse to concede ANY restriction, when none is even allowed.

I was ... I was totally off base with my "shout Fire in a crowded theater" reference. I have no idea where I came up with such a lame little statement. Thanks for politely calling me on the carpet for my stupidity. I hope no one else ever says something so wrong. But if they do, I hope you're there to catch them and correct them.
