Right Responsibilities And Real Deal By Butler
Rights, Responsibility and the Real Deal by Jeremy Butler The Right to Free
Speech is Protected Ideas are the backbone of democracy. However we see fit to
express those ideas is a right provided in the Constitution of the United
States. No matter the format of that expression someone will find them offensive
and seek to stop that expression. The Communications Decency Act is just the
latest incarnation of small minds raging against the tide. The CDA stomps on the
first amendment of the Constitution like a bunch of bikers in hobnailed boots.
It must be relentlessly pursued until dead. Everyone participating in the 24

fringes of the larger issue of free speech. I'm glad it's there, so we know when
the storm troopers are coming (no pun intended), but it is not the reason the
First Amendment is there. Open political discourse, such as 24 Hours of
Democracy, is the idea the founders were protecting. So long as the general
public only hears "We want our porn" they will never hear the real
