what can you not say?
as i recall from one of my school textbooks, there are 5 said limitations on it. one of which was that you can not yell "fire" in a crowded theater.... anyone?

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

I was going to say "The Limitations of U.S Free Speech" are perpetuated by those who do not understand the constitution (it seems to me anyway).

So yelling fire in theaters should be allowed then?
(I think so, I mean, if someone yells "fire", someone else should yell "where?" Right?

you can give police the bird. some will penalize you for it, a few may break the laws in doing so.
best not to do it if a ticket or jail is an option. just casually sure if you want.
