I can exercise my right and not buy Hustler Magazine I like that I have that right I care about it and you should care about it too because we live in a free country we say that a lot but sometimes I think we forget what that really means so listen to it again " we live in a free country" and that is a powerful idea that is a magnificent way to live but there is a price for that freedom which is sometimes we have to tolerate things we don't necessarily like, so go back into that room where you are free to think whatever you want to think about Larry Flynt and Hustler Magazine but then ask yourselves if you want to make that decision for the rest of us because the freedom that everyone in this room enjoys is in a very real way in your hands and if we start throwing up walls against where some of us think is obscene we may very well wake up one morning and realize that walls have been thrown up in all kinds of places we never expected and we can't see anything or do anything and that's not freedom, that is not freedom so be careful, thank you

Or better yet I can exercise my opinion and not buy it
00:00:04.136 --> 00:00:06.832
I like that I have that right I care about it
00:00:07.606 --> 00:00:09.801
And you should care about it too
00:00:10.003 --> 00:00:11.977
You really should
00:00:12.278 --> 00:00:14.212
Because we live in a free country
00:00:15.948 --> 00:00:18.542
We say that a lot but I think sometimes we forget
00:00:18.751 --> 00:00:21.001
really what that means so listen to it again
00:00:21.022 --> 00:00:23.518
We live in a free country
00:00:23.722 --> 00:00:28.216
And that is a powerful idea That's a magnificent way to live
00:00:28.427 --> 00:00:31.157
But there's a price for that freedom which is that sometimes
00:00:31.363 --> 00:00:34.073
we have to tolerate things that we don't necessarily like
00:00:34.934 --> 00:00:37.425
So go back in that room where you are free to think
00:00:37.636 --> 00:00:41.197
whatever you want to think about Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine
00:00:42.875 --> 00:00:46.311
But ask yourselves if you want to make that decision for the rest of us
00:00:46.812 --> 00:00:50.068
Because the freedom that everyone in this room enjoys
00:00:50.883 --> 00:00:53.647
is in a very real way in your hands
00:00:53.852 --> 00:00:59.256
If we start throwing up walls against what some of us think is obscene
00:00:59.625 --> 00:01:01.616
we may very well wake up one morning
00:01:01.827 --> 00:01:03.727
and realize walls have been thrown up
