...unfortunately, there is much room for inconsistency in what is judged to be "designed or intended" to contribute to the free exchange of ideas. For example, many Black Nationalist speakers who have toured American campuses often spew vitriolic, intolerant speech that certainly possess the first three properties of prohibited speech. Judging from the bitterness, divisiveness and intimidation that these speakers often spawn on the campuses they visit, one would expect their right to speak to be curtailed.

Auto engines, power plants and landfills spew out carbon dioxide, methane and other heat-trapping gases by the ton. Left unchecked, many scientists believe, the buildup in the atmosphere could create the greenhouse effect, boosting temperatures and changing weather patterns in unpredictable, probably destructive ways. At last year's Rio Earth Summit, world leaders agreed that emissions of greenhouse gases should be curbed, but at the insistence...
