For those of you that don't know, my biggest hobby horse is free speech. For the record, I'm pretty much an absolutist when it comes to free speech -- I think that the cure for "bad" speech is more "good" speech, not attempting to restrict the "bad". So, from time to time, I'll bloviate on various matters on this issue.
Eugene Volokh (of the Volokh Conspiracy) has written an interesting article about some of the myths of free speech. It's worth a quick read.
-- Update --
Volokh revises and extends his thoughts in the article in response to comments from readers.
