Subject: RE: The Bill of Rights of the United States
Interesting indeed!
Your freedom ends where my freedom begins.
If you incite hatred against me because I am old, white and female (and I can proove it) you can be made to stop.
If you burn a cross on my neighbors lawn - thats a hate crime.
If you and a friend decide to go bash a few Gays after the bar closes, thats a hate crime.
There's a difference between speaking your mind and inciting others to violence. I'm not sure how your new law will read but it hasn't seemed to cramp my style up here in Canada. It does, however, serve to protect innocent people from the actions of a group intent on making my life miserable.
