Freedom of speech isn't unlimited, but only in instances where
you trample on others rights of freedom and liberty.

Just because you and I find this particular instance of picketing at
a funeral disgusting does not mean that we should attack our freedoms.

Harrassment and intimidation are already addressed by our laws,
depending on the situation. There is no need to curtail our freedoms
over it.
