40. I happen to believe that burning anything is not an expression of
free speech. The right to free speech should be limited to what it was intended ie. speech, oral or written. Can we declare smoking a cigarette a matter of free speech? Apparently not, since it is verbotten in many areas. No one can walk in public in the nude although it might be a statement supporting nudity. The free speech thing has gotten out of hand by using it as an excuse for spreading hate.
