In response to Caution here posted by BrianTubbs:
I agree, we DO need to be careful.
.
My point is that the negative logical consequence of civic irresponsibility is the curtailment or abridgement of rights.
.
We need to be constantly aware of how our exercises of freedom might affect the rights of others (express or implied).
.
Words of hate or denigration threaten the freedoms of those to whom the words are directed. We need to hold the speakers of those words accountable to protect the freedoms of ALL people, not just some.
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
