Dear David,

I'm a strong believer in the "freedom of speech", in Sweden(where i live) and most civilized countries this is quite normal.

However, this does NOT give me the right to repeatedly offend (verbally or in any form) other people. Then it becomes harassement and as far as i know, that's not accepted in your country either.

Maybe the murder rate in the US would drop a little if it's citizens could learn to behave a little more civilized....... Ohhh i forgot, it's "a God given right" to own a gun in your country......

PS.
Where's this "shackle of oppression" attached, i can't seem to find it?
