CHAPTER

The Limits of Free Speech

i'm not an absolutist about free speech, but i do completely agree that there should be limits on it. It is hard to draw the line between speech that is truly dangerousd in the sense of people are going to get hurt if you let this person do this, verses speech that is just uncomfortable. You would like to be able to draw that line very clearly, but you can't. That doesn't mean the line isn't worth drawing. And sometimes the best explanation we have is not perfectly clear. There're some fuzzy boundaries and that's not a flaw.
