what do you think the status of free speech in America is? Do you believe that the average American person supports freedom of speech? When someone claims to support freedom of speech, do you think that person really supports all speech or just the speech he or she happens to agree with? If you were the Chief of the Speech Police, what kind of speech would you forbid, and why? Would you forbid gay-bashing speech, racist jokes or insults, extremist religious speech? Why or why not? Are there other types of speech that you would forbid?
