It is very important to protect the right to free speech and expression. It is equally important that we don't downplay the potency of communication and the singularly powerful role that it plays in the behaviors of humans. The word is powerful; invoking mental constructs and emotions. Indeed everything ever created or destroyed by a human began as a mental construct and/or emotion. Therefore words themselves are critical to destruction or creation and can be so much more than just violent--they will make or break the entire human species.
