[mod.legal] Freedom of expression, freedom of action

info-law@ucbvax.UUCP (12/16/85)

The courts have consistently overruled this kind of argument.  If any
action were regarded as a form of expression, all actions would be
legal.  Would you like to see smoking and spitting in public places
protected as expressing beliefs about their goodness?  Should
those who believe that loud music is therapeutic be allowed to play
it in hospitals?
