No, of course you don't have that right. No more than I would have it right to say you are advocating publishing child pornography. I think I know you well enough to
know that you are not. But isn't
that a violation of Free Speech?
Let's try a check list. Please check off the ones you believe
should be free to be published under the umbrella of Free Speech;
Child pornography.
National Defense secretes.
Truck routes for disposal of Nuclear Waste.
Secret Service Plans for protecting the President
Everyone's medical records
Not choosing 'yes' or 'no' will be seen as your acceptance that these should NOT be permitted.
Personally, I really don't believe that you would want ANY of these to be permitted freely published, despite your stance that nothing should be censored. I honestly don't think any rational person would want to see these made public. I know that I do not.
It's good to espouse Free Speech. It's better to espouse responsible Free Speech. We have given our elected officials the job of being responsible. They are doing what we have voted them into office for; standing in our place to make rational and responsible decisions. Sometimes they even do it correctly.
