13. To the extent that it harms an individual's emotional state, it is illegal
I think a lot of people see the current state of government and are falling into libertarian ways of thinking, with a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Basically, radicals who are anti-Bush, but by no means necessarily Democrats, find themselves here. Nothing wrong with that.

Most people read the Constitution but may have a weak understanding of how it has been shaped by precedent and legislation since its inception, both for good and ill.

And some people here are extreme just to be extreme.

I can appreciate a good radical argument now and then, but the right to speech isn't absolute, nor should it be, and that fact is ancient history.

Note that none of those people have spoken up other than with their vote.
