    Honestly, free speech needs limitations, which stops making it free.

    We Americans clutch certain things and make them sacred. Sure, these things made us great for certain periods of time, but right now they are slowly decaying our country and we defend them tooth and nail.

    Free speech - hate speech and knowingly stating wrong information cannot be allowed


    Right to bear arms - talked to death on here


    Free market - major companies need held accountable for what is essentially crimes against humanity for the almighty stock price.

    The goal of any capitalist is to become a monopolist and that is one of the great inherent failures of a market based economy.

    And to truly be a capitalist, supply and demand capitalist, the product must be a commodity for which there is no differentiation except for price.

    Makes no difference. The consequences are the speaker’s, even if they’ve been overchurched.
