Old men in older times once agreed that everyone should be able to say whatever to whoever they **** well please. Old men today have decreed that everyone should be able to say whatever old men in new times please and you can't say what you **** well please unless everyone is **** well pleased. Might as well adopt a Communist manifesto to quote to each other for conversation, and tune every radio to the same fascist station. Be politically correct, but otherwise wrong- it's not free speech for the dumb when you're humming the same old tuneless song in the country of liberated photostat machines.
