Yep... more and more Free Speech = Disinformation = manipulation of the masses.


It's crazy, you can say anything, you can even lie like Sarah Palin and hide behind he cause of free speech.

That's like shooting at someone then using a baby as a human shield.

For all of the people who claim to love free speech in this country, a whole lot of them are completely irresponsible with it.

See I read that article about the post office with all the stickers
Guess what... it wasn't even a post office
it was a post office BOX

I know more about manipulation of the masses than most people do. Words, syntax, capitalization, sentence structure, etc., can all play a part with people online, and similarly can be said for people in crowds and rallies. This doesn't mean free speech should be restricted because of it. All restricting free speech would do is, instead of having everybody have equal opportunities at manipulating the masses, only those with power would be able. It's bad either way, and bad things must come with the good on this planet.

However, your analogy goes both ways. If you can shoot at somebody and use a baby as a human shield, they can do they same -- both just need to be careful not to shoot the baby.
