Couldn't agree less re your definition of "speech not protected by the 
First Amendment" as "treasonous". The definition fits Thomas Paine, 
Thomas Jefferson, and other radicals whose "treasonous" speech brought 
us the freedom of speech you are attempting to erode. Treason, like 
pornography, is in the eye of the beholder.

     I believe that free speech - totally free speech - is our greatest
heritage. The remedy for the "treasonous" speech you hypothesize is
more speech, pointing out the evils of it in more words - not with 
odious criminal and moral and possibly legal chains.

     Oh, sorry - this is directed to Rebecca S. Taylor's post.
