When should our First Amendment Freedom of Speech rights be moderated? When someone else finds what we say damaging? When we incite a riot? When we cause harm, intentionally or unintentionally, to others? When? Or, should it be moderated at all? Should the lyrics of songs come with Parental Warning labels? Should hate groups be denied air time on television and radio, banned from press? Where is the line? And more importantly - who should draw it?
