Does any one have any more information on this and where the line is drawn?

Penguin, if you read, there is a relevent question. Which is, How will The Hate Crime Prevention Act of 2009 effect my right to express my opinion

Of course. The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees free speech.

The line is drawn where there is a clear and present danger (i.e., yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater), and in cases of slander or libel, and in incitement to violence, or in the commission of crime.

The good news and bad news about free speech is that foolish and hateful speech is protected equally with wise and loving speech.

Sure, but not on Yahoo Answers because this is not the place to discuss opinions. This is for direct questions and answers and as soon as you get into 'opinions' you are 'chatting ' and are in violation of community guidelines. There are lots of discussion websites out these so please keep that stuff out of YA. Thanks. .
