oh yippee for thought police ... its this same notient that gets second grade kids expelled for using his finger as a gun and going pow pow to a classmate...or a high school kid expelled for writing a poem about violence... after all we  know what they are thinking.. and by golly they are certainly gonna act upon those thoughts ... right?  so lets stop them before they do it

thoughts are never a crime ... the crime is if you act upon those thoughts... writing down thoughts are not crimes.. the act upon those thoughts is a crime... geez people if thoughts are crimes then Im sure ever single one of us should be locked up for one thing or another..

I know for a fact there isnt one man in this forum that hasnt thought about some hot young underaged teenage girl and wanting to get in the sack... hey if thoughts are a crime.. you just commited at least 2.

you know how many movies there are out that depict a character based off of a real life person and other characters doing something to that person... should that be a crime as well.. after all we all know who the character is supposed to be in real life.. shouldnt the writer be locked up?

yelling fire in a theatre, yelling bomb in an airplane, and yelling Im gonna kill the president..does in fact fit the description of "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"   It was that crappy supreme court case (Schenck v. United States) that claimed it wasnt....and I dont care how many times you try to justify that case...  its only when property or people get hurt/damaged as to when a crime is commited... then and only then is the person who yelled fire guilty of an actual crime

I am utterly appauled by anyone who tries to justify the interworkings of one's mind as a crime... rather than the act of acting on it... Im especially appauled by anyone who claims they are a libertarian and agrees with any law that makes thoughts a crime
