Well since we are not required to adopt and adhere to any of this nonsense, it really is a non-issue for us.

BTW, in the United States, there is no such right as "freedom of expression" specifically addressed in the Bill of Rights. It does not appear there. This simply means that such a "right" exists under the protections of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, not the First Amendment.

Last time I looked, speech was a means of expression, as was the printed word or image.
