the very spirit behind "freedom of speech" is that there are to be no consequences for said speech. the first amendment is and was an absolutely revolutionary concept, a truly novel idea. nothing like it had ever been thought of by anybody in history until america's founding fathers, and i'm certain that no other current-day country has has adopted the true meaning and spirit of freedom of speech (other than some weasel-worded bastardizations that can be interpreted to the point of meaninglessness). why do we desperately hope that the greatness of america must rise from the cesspool of its corruption? freedom of mother fucking speech, humanity's brightest beacon.
