So the question is still "Does freedom of speech trump all other considerations?"
I'm not talking about the repression of speech. And I'm not talking about the right to scream FIRE in a crowded theater.
I'm talking about the lack of tact in going before a gathering of Jew and saying that the holocaust was a necessary thing. Or standing up at a "Parent and Teachers Association" and extolling the benefits of NAMBLA. Or saying how the
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was just a misunderstanding, and that the
Rape of Nanking was a well intentioned attempt at solving the population problem.
I guess that if you believe in nothing, that nothing has
intrinsic value, then the subjects above really are meaningless to you.
