And your argument is "I like porn, I want porn, therefore porn shall be called free speech because I say so. And it has to be available everywhere so I don't have to take any trouble to find it. And if communities don't want it, too effing bad. My wants come before anything else, and I call this - freedom."

Free speech refers to expression of ideas, not obscenity. The ACLU and pornographers are the ones who got the leftist Nazgul SCOTUS to shove porn down everyones' throats, whether they want it in their neighborhood or not.

So you will just arbitrarily define what is free speech and what is obscenity??? That is a good idea. Going down that road what if some day people in power started to define conservatism and christianity as obscene??? Should they then have the power to limit free speech?

Yep, and they should be treated just like narcotics dealers.
