More Free Speech

Another good one:

"First off, the guarantee of free speech is solely a guarantee that the government won't muck with your right to speak, not that all private individuals and institutions have to extend the same consideration.
Second, if you find that to be splitting hairs, note also that "Disturbing the peace" is still legally actionable, and I'm unaware of any successful challenge to such laws on Constitutional grounds. In other words, the limits on free speech to include "not being a loud and public ass" just as they cover "not shouting 'Fire' in a crowded theater".
...The right to free speech is NOT the right to a captive audience. "
