[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 1989093, member: 7898"] Rights exist eternally outside of the realm of human control. They aren't things that are "allowed" or "disallowed", because they exist above the plane of government. I can say ANYTHING I want, but you can also react in whatever way you choose. I can say fire in a crowded theater, and if it is illegal I can be punished for doing something unlawful. That still doesn't prevent me from doing it. Repercussions for an action do not constitute "prevention", laws cannot be preventative. [/QUOTE]
