Yikes, I'm not sure you kids are ready for free-speech. You sure do get worked up about what celebrities and professional athletes have to say. Perhaps some kind of limitations might be in order. I know, we'll set up special areas where full free-speech is permitted, and we'll call them, um, speech gardens, no, uh ... zones! Yeah, free-speech zones!

Oh wait, you've already got those. I guess theyâ€™re not working.
