That's great to hear. Freedom of speech has always been under attack around the edges where unpopular speech is being considered, so it is good to see a victory come down from the supreme court. Neil Gaiman wrote an excellent article on this subject ( <a href="http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/12/why-defend-freedom-of-icky-speech.html" rel="nofollow">http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/12/why-defend-freedom-of-...</a> ) last december. In it, he mentions some of the issues still facing other countries, most notably the UK. Hopefully they will come around as well.
