sorry guys for all the posts i am just now getting to respond to everyone.
Good point when you say that Leon has the authority to cease my free speech on the forum. and why, because i am on his turf? So i appreciate him letting me express my viewpoints as well because i am enjoying this conversation.
Got a question for you josh. you dont have to answer on the board, just answer it in your head. When you ride in another persons car do you feel compelled to change there radio station or toggle there a/c?

For reference the First Amendment actually reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I will never be arrested for yelling louder than you which is technically restricting your free speech. Never happen. Why, because it is totally legal and the Bill of Rights says nothing about that. Leon can ban you which does not make him a socialist (don't get me started on that view either) or a criminal. It makes him a citizen.
Most "laws" concerning free speech have been created through the actions of the judicial department in interpreting the Constitution and the common laws of the land.
So Derek...to you, I say be quiet, shut your mouth, shut your trap, take it elsewhere, cram it in your piehole, shut off the word faucet, take some pepto for your diarrhea of the mouth, stick your head back in the sand (but take it out of your butt first), hush your mouth, put a sock in it, zip it, pipe down, cut the chatter, children should be seen and not heard, simmer down, etc....none of which is illegal or trampling on your rights. So sorry.
