it's what we say and do when we are wrong that truly defines our character.

Good to see this article it at least reminds me that there are those who can still be honest and express their wrongdoing with a sincere apology.

Free speech that contains either hate or satire that irritates and inflames is the ultimate test of our resolve to understand and respect our rights.

Free speech for the speech we love is easy, free speech for the speech we find reprehensible, offensive, or hateful is difficult but it is also the kind of free speech we must defend to the death.
