What's particularly sad and crazy, Archimedes2000, is that so many Canadians actually defend the taking away of their own freedoms. Americans are a different breed.
No you don't . I've never insulted your country and you even manage to bring in penis envy , of all things and that in it's self is an indication more of your problem than any in my country.
The whole basis of yours and others argument is that the First Amendment protects your free speech. My point to you and others is that like Canada's right to Free Speech , your First Amendment is not absolute.

the First Amendment is about protecting the public good rather than individual freedom. Freedom of speech in America has NEVER been absolute. Ever since The Alien and Sedition Act of 1798, there have been a number of laws restricting scandalous, malicious, inflammatory or false utterances, particularly any attempting to defame or bring down the government, or help its enemies.
The following areas have NEVER been protected by the Constitution. There are NO barriers to government interference or regulation. The ONLY constraints on government are that officials must be engaged in a legitimate purpose (doing their duty) , the law to be enforced must not be too broad or vague , the law must be content neutral , not intervene before the fact unless extraordinary circumstances exist , and not have a "chilling effect" (which makes people fearful of engaging in legitimate activities). (obscenity , libel, fighting words , nudity). There are in-between categories between free speech and unprotected speech. Generally, governments have a free hand in how they want to go about regulating these areas.( hate speech, internet defamation , commercial speech ).

This court decision is about the intent of the ad purchaser, nothing more and., as I said in an earlier post, test your freedom. Print an identical ad in a local paper and see what happens.
