FREE SPEECH IN CRISIS: Conflict is unavoidable, but there are institutions that exist to mediate disputes, such as freedom of speech. Without communication, there is no way to negotiate a compromise. Without the free exchange of ideas, the facts cannot be discovered and any position we take could easily be in error. Without protected expression, the disaffected have no way to properly vent. When people feel they are not being heard, and they cannot even get their message out to convince others to support them at the ballot box, that is when they do desperate things to get their message out – such as terrorism. The only way to prevent the use of “second-amendment solutions” is by the tireless pursuit of first-amendment solutions. Unfortunately, the same people pushing for government to control ever more of our lives, thereby giving us more to fight about, also push to erode the institution of free speech.
