The free exchange of reasoned thought is most certainly protected, idle blabber is also protected but you can and should be held responsible for any negative impact of irresponsible verbal diarrhea. The attitude that you will talk about something on a public forum, even if it has a negative impact overall, just because it is your right is immature at best. Carry on mate, no windmill is safe!

What me worry?
it's not a matter of "a right" to blather. it's a deeply held philosophy of openness and honesty. when a people keep secrets, no one benefits. We create a world where what we see and know is not what is there. How can that be a good thing? I think you and me draw the line in different places and I try to have some fun with our disagreements, inject a note of anarchic radicalism to help balance the overwhelming conservativism of today's tea party amerika (just kidding with k). Unsafe Windmills Unite! Don Skipoti is nigh!

No, of course I don't support theivery. Openness would nullify theivery. The problem is a civilization that works only under secrecy. We have created a system of government that promotes lies, greed, secrets, tramples the very meaning of the public trust, a system that simply could not function without deceit. Such a system is full of secrets and thus full of truthseekers no matter how evil or altruistic their motivation for finding the secrets. We create a self-feeding environment of deepening mistrust. Why can't we all just get along? If a sign had been in JB saying "Please don't carve your name, or otherwise alter, this beautiful environment. It's taken millions of years to create what you see here. Thanks for your conservation," those names would not be carved in the rock today. Just letting people know is the first thing. You can't blame them if you didn't tell them.
