FAMOUS SUPREME COURT JUSTICE OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES MADE A METAPHOR ABOUT SIMILAR SITUATIONS. HE SAID “THE RIGHT TO SWING MY FIST ENDS WHERE THE OTHER MAN’S NOSE BEGINS.”
WE WANT TO KNOW WHOSE SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT YOU’D CHOOSE, WITH THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTION. DURING AN ELECTION, SHOULD SOMEONE BE ABLE TO PUT UP AS MANY POLITICAL SIGNS AS THEY WANT? YOU CAN CHOOSE EITHER “YES, IT'S THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT,” OR “NO, THEY NEED TO BE CONSIDERATE OF THEIR NEIGHBORS.”
AFTER YOU’VE VOTED, WRITE TO US AND TELL US HOW YOU VOTED AND WHY.
AND IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANY OTHER TRICKY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS SITUATIONS --- WE’D LIKE TO KNOW THAT TOO.
WHILE WE’RE HERE, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT LAST WEEK’S POLL:
WE ASKED “SHOULD HEALTH COMPANIES BE ALLOWED TO SET UNLIMITED PRICES FOR THE MEDICINE THEY MAKE?” AND A RESOUNDING 91% RESPONDED NO. WE’LL FIND OUT WHY WHEN WE GET TO YOUR LETTERS IN OUR INBOX SEGMENT LATER IN THE SHOW.
