Yep...it is REASONABLE to assume a 15 or 20 year old case parodying Jerry Falwell having sex with his mother in an outhouse should be required knowledge for all good Freepers...a tidbit especially crucial when posting about the difference between portraying the assassination of the current sitting president of the USA, George W Bush with a totally fictional president's assassination.

Note to self: Research all thin skinned evangelists suing porn peddler mags before posting on forum, even though said case happened, oh say, a dozen or so years before you gave a flip or knew jack about politics...no excuse, Girl...after all, we're talking reasonableness, logic, sound judgment here...assume nothing

Last note to self: must remember google is an essential tool when deficiencies in deductive reasoning are noted/suspected.

Definitely. It is one of the seminal free-speech cases in our country's history. And that's what this is about -- free speech. As the quote goes, free speech means nothing if it isn't applied to speech you dislike.

Researching before asking is generally a good idea. It helps keep one from looking stupid.
