Its really not about what speech you or I prefer, get tired of, or think is too much or too little. Nor is it currently within the purview of the gov't to determine what political speech you and I get to utter or when and how we utter it.

But if you wish to push for the regulation of speech over the Internet and let the gov't make the determination about what and when certain types of speech are appropriate, I wonder what the future of this forum would be in that scenario?
