Why would a profit making magazine have to pay to defend itself ...moreso than a government magazine or a nonprofit???
It is a national freedom the police would be protecting. In our case the first amendment to the constitution. There are all kinds of foolishness that the..... is it ACLU....says it is protecting. Even that ugly church that carries horrible signs at veteran's funerals are allowed to do it, even if they have a space limit. Even when it is abused, most nations recognize the right of freedom of expression.
I often think that all this concentrating on being politically correct in speech is itself a limiting of free speech or free expression as the French call it.
A man might as well be dead if he cannot say what he thinks. Even if I am too cowardly most of the time. This forum has changed me.
