Here we go on interpretations of the phraseology of another written dictate.

We have to realize that "Freedom of Speech" is related to "Freedom of Expression" and not a literal be-all-end-all shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

Expand the analogy. What happens when someone, say the owner of the theater next door, PAYS someone to shout "fire" in their competitors establishment?

Companies should and do have rights, but the problem is, when a company has the power of the people working for them, but only one person (or small commitee) gets to decide what they want, you enter the realm of feifdoms and other almost regal power structures.

I am not ready for the Duke of Duane Reede or the Earl of Phizer.
