To be fair, freedom of speech is only from the government. If you sign a contract forbidding you from things such as in this story, you agreed to it yourself.
But in this story, we have people complaining about a peace wreath - from family members of soldiers in Iraq no less. Why wouldnt they want peace so their relatives can come home in the seat of a plane rather than in the cargo hold?
People (presumably wearing tinfoil hats) complaining that a peace symbol is actually a satanic symbol.
A homeowners association president threatening to fine someone $25 per day for displaying a Christmas wreath at Christmas.
And, my personal favorite, the same president firing the entire board because they had entirely too much common sense.
