I don’t much care about Phoenix’s convention income, but I do agree with Nowakowski– freedom can exist only hand in hand with common sense. Just because I have the right to carry a firearm in what might be considered an inflammatory manner does not mean it’s a good idea.
Once again, the question of whether a person has the right to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theatre should not arise– it’s not only dangerous and stupid, it demonstrates that a person may not be responsible enough to engage in the rights granted to adults in this country.
