The truth is I don't believe in free speech. I believe that everyone should talk like civilized adults and try not to hurt other people. Because the older I get, the more I believe that words matter. And the innocent showing of a film that depicts Muslims in a controversial light, especially to people who probably don't know any Muslims, is going to be inflammatory and probably reinforce stereotypes. Unless they were also going to have Muslims in the conference to provide their point of view, then I'm against it. So kill me.

BTW, I didn't mean to imply that you, personally, would have a problem with abortion. I was just using it as an example of a topic that usually provokes strong emotions for and against.

I have been thinking about how often people are talking about their "right" to this or their "right" to that based on what's in the Constitution. I wonder if instead of thinking of it as a "right" maybe we should think of these things as privileges.
And like "privileges", they can be taken away when we abuse them.
