(I tried to post a reply a short while ago and I don't know what happened to it - maybe it'll show up later?)

The first amendment wasn't written to protect you from being offended. Being offended and surviving it is part of the cost of being free.

I am not worried about being offended. I am concerned about the people in general - especially younguns - becoming degraded to the point where they are hardly human. But that's beside the point.

This is the point - try to think about it clearly.

SPEECH and ACTION are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

The First Amendment protects speech. (And not all speech). There is nothing in the First Amendment that protects events like "Gay Pride" parades where faggots dress up like nuns and screw each other, porno movies, so-called theater events where people get naked and masturbate, etc. This is not speech, there is no protection for crap like that under the First Amendment. Only recently has the ACLU (All Criminals Love Us) crowd managed to twist the meaning of the first amendment.
