This is what we are engaging in and those who think differently than me
   here will dismiss me with a simple - moron - tag

   but this is exactly what free speech is. We hold different opinions and
   voice them without fear of personal attack.

   Verbally attacking someone is not freedom its abuse. We are not free to
   abuse others.

     In a free and open society, even the invalid opinions have to be
     allowed.  Fools should be allowed to make fools of themselves in
     public.  And other fools should be allowed to ridicule them.
