Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of democracy.
It creates dialogue; it leads to exchange of ideas; it feeds the democratic process.
Somewhere along the line, we have let go of the idea of common ground, what is best for all in the country, and fallen into the abyss of "my way" or the "wrong way."
Somewhere along the line, we have fallen into the grip of political correctness, rather than open dialogue.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
