I am in favor of as much freedom as possible and the US used to lean that way but the more laws Congress enacts the more freedoms we lose. I remember the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never harm me." We learned to be tough and take mean words when I was growing up. Now if you say the wrong thing to the wrong person, you end up in jail. I don't believe in verbal abuse in any way, but I do believe it is not for the government to control us. Since taking the Bible and 10 Commandments and many other such things out of public view, what can we expect?
