I believe the Supreme Court has determined that localities may define what is considered profane versus what is not. And since, in the Constitution, the Supreme Court is tasked with interpretation of the Constitution, it would seem perfectly plausible for the community these folks were arrested in to be able to define certain curse words as profane.

Moreover, locales can create other ordinances that stipulate "free speech" by your broad picture, joedirt. For example, a suburb near me bans people in public holding advertising signs (which means no sign flippers for condo conversions, new housing communities, and the like). Is this a violation of freedom of speech since it limits the medium through which such speech can be made? What if the town this video was filmed in had such an ordinance, that you can't stand outside on a corner and hold a sign? Would that be violating that minor's unalienable rights?

The people posting this video were wanting an altercation. If their sign just said, "Bush Sucks," none of this melodrama would have unfolded.

You don't see Clerks for the acting, but for the dialog and incessant use of profanity. Not a huge fan of Kevin Smith's, but this one was my favorite of his dialog-wise and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was the one where I found myself laughing the hardest. Some of his others were pretty big disappointments, IMO - Chasing Amy and Mallrats being the ones that stick out in my mind right now...

It's unfortunate that the author of this video lumps athiests and agnostics together. There's a sharp distinction. An athiest shares an unprovable faith as strong as the theist - they both believe that they're vision is correct without proof. Agnostics, on the other hand, realize that there is no proof to either prove or disprove the existence of a god.

Personally, I hope that there is a god, that there's life after death, that bad people are punished after they die. But my money's on no god. The good news is that, in the end, we all get to find out for ourselves the answer to this timeless question! :-)

What a catch!
