i am wondering about where your employment status bumped up against your spree speech. >> some of the gresest in the country is by employers and not the government. you're employer can have much more control on what you say or don't say. >> you can't be arrested, be u yo can be fired. >> which is moralistic. so the real speech code in the country is set more by employers, and often it's more oppressive than anything the government does. it's often employers. >> so when we come to that then, i guess part of what i want us to start thinking about in this context of speech and how we're going to use our voices because i keep hearing from friends, from family, from activists, i just feel so powerless, and so what people can do is to tweet or cry out or to speak. but part of what i'm wondering is how do we move away from feeling powerless to feeling like there's something we can do about what feels like again, a decade -- a century of
