Freedom of speech does not mean you can poop in public Of course not - freedom of speech means you can talk about it.

Freedom of speech means that you and your ten loudest buddies can walk into a public library and start screaming at the top of your lungs for hours?

Stupid example since the Libraries are not meant for that. Radio segments are meant to entertain.

Public spaces are meant for the "enjoyment" of the public as decided by a consensus of the public. Your response is stupid.

Oh yea? What consensus?

The FCC has no standards. All radio and television broadcasters - to borrow a phrase from Animal House - are always on double secret probation. They never know what they will be fined for and for what reason. The FCC is totally arbitrary in their censorship criteria. When you live under a system where no rules are in place beyond the whims of the overlord it is a tyranny. If you want broadcast standards to be fair - write them down so people know what is allowed and what is not.
