    I have just had my ass jumped by my dear Mother. Who is looking to become a fascist just like my Bosses. She read me the riot act for putting up a fucking rumor. Again as per the usual I didn’t name any names. This is the second time I have altered my webpage because of Fascist intervention. I will not do it again. This attack from my loving supportive Mother has led me to believe that I will not let this kind of shit go. I am as of today putting all my spare time into contacting the ACLU. Who up into now I only sent one e-mail and pretty much left it at that. I will have to guess my Boss will be giving me shit about it too. Too fucking bad for all of you Fascists!!! Attention Fascists!!! Please read the following quotes and learn about our supposed laws.

    Here’s a few quotes taken from the net:

    Free Speech Rights Apply in Cyberspace: CAD Declared Unconstitutional-source

    The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that free-speech rights granted under the Constitution apply in cyberspace. Reno v. ACLU (No. 96-511, June 26, 1997), a historic ruling released June 26, 1997, strikes down two key provisions of the Communications Decency Act, a federal law that sought to impose restrictions on material placed on the Internet.

    “One man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric.”
    — Justice John M. Harlan, Cohen v. California (1971)

    From the ACLU Briefing:

    The path to freedom was long and arduous. It took nearly 200 years to establish firm constitutional limits on the government’s power to punish “seditious” and “subversive” speech. Many people suffered along the way, such as labor leader Eugene V. Debs, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison under the Espionage Act just for telling a rally of peaceful workers to realize they were “fit for something better than slavery and cannon fodder.” Or Sidney Street, jailed in 1969 for burning an American flag on a Harlem street corner to protest the shooting of civil rights figure James Meredith

    In 1923, author Upton Sinclair was arrested for trying to read the text of the First Amendment at a union rally. Many people were arrested merely for membership in groups regarded as “radical” by the government. It was in response to the excesses of this period that the ACLU was founded in 1920.

    The Supreme Court has recognized several limited exceptions to First Amendment protection.

    • In Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942), the Court held that so-called “fighting words … which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace,” are not protected. This decision was based on the fact that fighting words are of “slight social value as a step to truth.” 
    • In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964), the Court held that defamatory falsehoods about public officials can be punished — only if the offended official can prove the falsehoods were published with “actual malice,” i.e.: “knowledge that the statement was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.” Other kinds of “libelous statements” are also punishable. 
    • Legally “obscene” material has historically been excluded from First Amendment protection. Unfortunately, the relatively narrow obscenity exception, described below, has been abused by government authorities and private pressure groups. Sexual expression in art and entertainment is, and has historically been, the most frequent target of censorship crusades, from James Joyce’s classic Ulysses to the photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe.

    From the ACLU Artistic Freedom briefing:

    What is censorship?

    Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are “offensive,” happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional.

    In contrast, when private individuals or groups organize boycotts against stores that sell magazines of which they disapprove, their actions are protected by the First Amendment, although they can become dangerous in the extreme. Private pressure groups, not the government, promulgated and enforced the infamous Hollywood blacklists during the McCarthy period. But these private censorship campaigns are best countered by groups and individuals speaking out and organizing in defense of the threatened expression.

    So endeth thy lecture.
