Freedom of speech is a good freedom. As all philosophers of governmental systems have pointed out across the ages, there are no freedoms which do not bring with them a concomitant seriousness of responsibility. Accepting the freedom means accepting the responsibility. Without such resolve in the "citizenry" no society can stand.
Most of us who graduated from Notre Dame, in fact, got the message that it was the responsibility part which comprises the greater. Freedom is about the individual; responsibility is about the group. The older I have gotten, the importance of the group has become greater and greater... in family, in Notre Dame football, in life.
