Something I’ve been wondering about quite a bit…

Or is free speech only tolerable to a majority of people when there’s a shared set of values?

I’m not sure, but I know free speech is our most important ideal and we must protect it with all our resolve.

Aquinas argued we cannot legislate morality. I agree with him. Ultimately, we build our families and associate with those whose morals align.

I think a more interesting question is to isolate and answer where does culture say our rights come from?

> Basically can laws compensate for weak culture? (Some) laws are remnants of past cultures. They possess inertia, but if you push hard enough, the mass will stop and then reverse direction.
