Or did the right of free speech come first & some "consensus of learned
individuals appealing to philosophy and reason" start to limit it. Craig

[Platt]
Excellent point, Craig. Never thought of it that way. Thanks.

[Arlo]
If the right to "free speech" preceded reason, where did it exist? Was it just
floating around the universe, waiting for man to discover it? I'd say the right
to free speech is a construction of intellect (or more precisely, an
intellectual pattern that emerged from social-collective participation), not
some pre-existent discovered by it.
