Free Speech

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it." -Voltaire

What the hell happened to that attitude? Take my previous post about the Dixie Chicks for example - they said something negative about the president and ended up having cd's burned and received death threats. Now, most people agree with them.

Don Imus just got fired after he called some female basketball players "nappy headed hoes". That to me translates to "ugly bitches" - how is that racial? And his title, "shock jock" - doesn't that mean he can pretty much say what he wants? How can someone be a shock jock and not be able to speak freely?
