People who wear hoods while perpetrating evil deeds hardly seem to fall within the zone of protection afforded by the Bill of Rights.

Evil deeds, if illegal, are not protected.

So called "evil speech" is, lest we get into judging who's speech is evil.

Leftists believe that yelling "baby killer" at an abortion doctor is "evil speech" as was yelling "Get out of Cheney's house!" at Al and Tipper Gore.

Free speech applies to idiots as well as geniuses.

Well, if that is the case dead, then it seems to me: the geniuses need to figure out a way to rule in the idiots in order to help them achieve a more realistic future.

Either that, of we may presently find that the world we live in is truly unliveable.

For under current conditions, the idiots have no incentive to improve their lot; and the true genius seems increasingly irrelevant to public questions.

If there's a "third way," please -- I'm dying to hear about it.
