Freedom of speech means that the GOVERNMENT cannot arrest or censor you for your beliefs or publicly expressing them. It has nothing to do with private businesses, such as sponsors, refusing to subsidize a program they disagree with, or consumers not buying a product when the manufacturer (or artist, singer, actor, etc) does or says something which offends them.
Freedom of speech means that I can voice MY opinion about someone else's actions, even if I voice it by refusing to buy his product, hire her, or associate with him. It means that I'm free to voice my opinion about government policy in a law-abiding manner, ESPECIALLY when I disagree, without fear of being arrested or killed. I'm fully aware that there may be consequences to my actions. If I disagree with my son's school, I'd better be prepared to move him if they object. If I disagree with my church, I'd better be prepared to leave it. If I disagree with Steve, I'd better be prepared to leave HIS forum. (Not that he would ever ask me to leave...unless I have a psychotic episode.)
Just MY opinion. :wave: BTW, I LIKE the Family Guy. :animwink:
