I was going for the inherent facts in your argument, albeit in a playful
way, coz this IS email, brother.

The phrase is actually "crowded theater". Meaning a PUBLIC place, not a
room (which is usually private).
"Speech" is not about private places, but public places.
Zundel has a right to speak his shit wherever he wants. And he is not
screaming fire.

Do you mean Harvey Brownstone? The Prov. Ct. grad from this aft?
Blackstone was a different chap, with much more referential weight.

Does that include economic tyranny of a few?
Should a few people have the total ability to dictate to a massive
plurality?
Just asking...

Dunno about life... but law is about equity.
