No Guns, No Knives, No Hoodies, No Kissing, and soon No Talking

John Lott’s post aggravated me today. They banned kissing in England’s rail stations. It’s a good thing this can’t happen in America, since we have guaranteed freedom of expression. Oh wait…
The existence of free speech zones is based on U.S. court decisions stipulating that the government may regulate the time, place, and manner—but not content—of expression.
The same legislation could be passed here! Something should be done to fix this obviously flawed interpretation. The government can legally force you to exercise your right only in the tundra of Alaska at midnight on Christmas. This is obviously not what the founders intended.
