[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 52, Issue 21

[Sandi Rust]

Pardon me..  just a few words of my own...
   
  True, we have Freedom of Speech. It is a freedom I use quite frequently, but hopefully I temper it a bit with wisdom. "Wisdom" is the "should I shouldn't I" factor to our life with the Freedom. Certainly, I can greet my friend, Jack, on the street, but would I shout out "Hi Jack!" in a crowded airport? True, I can preach freedom of religion, but would I do that at a KKK meeting? To both I would say "no". Is someone allowed to have a frustrated rant? I would say, yes. Would I have it posted on a public forum? No. That really isn't the place for it at least not for very long and not without the heading "this is my personal rant" and definitely not if I was one of the officers in a society-wide decision. Such things (as seen) can spark more misinformation and rampant speculation. So, until whatever happens ~ Happens; I feel that it is a waste of energy to even contemplate such speculations. So smooth down your feathers; we're not in a cockfight yet.

That is very true but like yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theatre there 
is no right of 'freedom from consequences' no?
