We will be witnessing real dangers emerge, to our personal freedoms, imo,
when political and community leaders in a society of men, decide that the common citizen needs to be 'guided' [and censured,
IN LAW], in which opinions/views can be publicly expressed, and which opinions/views are not 'acceptable' [to be publicly expressed].
[I oppose openly expressed
direct incitement to violent acts. I do not oppose the right to 'speak out' and warn of such dangers.]
