I find it interesting that the U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear a case on
Cross Burning because it deals with free speech.  The plaintiff argues that
s/he has the right to burn a cross, under the guise of free speech, to
intimidate people.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this argument then I should be
allowed to enter a movie theatre and yell 'FIRE' because I want to
intimidate/scare people.

Where will common sense take hold again?


just my opinion, and I'm interested in yours.
