Pls see # 21. I hold that the freedom not to listen trumps the freedom of speech ["Your freedom to wag your tongue ends where my ears begin"]. Therefore to speak [handing out printed materials included] to me in most situations one first ought to get my permission. Sometimes [and rather frequently] I grant it, and sometimes I do not. And since in the USSR of thucking memory I developed a strong adverse reaction to indoctrination, I do not grant such a permission to those desiring to bible at me. Insisting on such a right for myself, I necessarily must concede it to others.

May I have the freedom to speak? Wait, this is America, I do have that freedom. You, on the other hand, can choose not to listen (or read, as the case is presently).

Was your contribution to this thread forced upon us, or maybe mine was forced upon you?

As I stated previously it is a freedom of speech issue; you just find offense in the content.
