We all agree that freedom of speech doesn’t include yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater. Likewise, freedom of religion doesn’t include “centers” designed to conquer and subjugate America.

I very much like your comments and have taken the liberty of attaching them to a post on Facebook. I guess I should have asked you first. Hope you do not mind.

I don't agree.

If the theater is actually on fire, it is not only your right but your duty to yell "Fire!"

Your post #3.

I certainly agree in general with your statements. Now this may seem as nay saying, but I will take a chance. I was in security for a while.

If there was smoke and a chance of fire - say in a control room in a crowded theatre, the worst thing would be for someone to shout "Fire".

Here goes.... Stentorian voice.

"We may be having a problem, would you PLEASE leave the theatre quietly. Just file out to the nearest exits.

Now back to my Tim Hortons coffee having done my duty (chuckle). I concede I may be wrong, but I do not think so.
