No, Henry, the societal problem that this conversation is highlighting is our abysmal public education system, of which you are clearly a product.
The concept of "freedom of speech" including more than just mouth sounds has been around since well before the founding of our country. In fact, it has its roots in the Magna Carta, but was really fleshed out during the Enlightenment.
Try reading the Federalist Papers - they give great insight into why the Founders did things the way they did, and what their views on government were, and what their own concept of "freedom of speech" was. Then you will see that it wasn't "mean men in black robes" that expanded the First Amendment to include other forms of expression, rather it's been that way for centuries.
So why are you trying to change the definition now? Why are you trying to restrict the freedoms of American citizens by allowing government to restrict any expression that isn't mouth sounds? Whose side are you on??
Daniel begs to differ:
Well there’s your problem - you’re using a standard dictionary for legal terms. Try a law dictionary.
There’s the societal problem. Changing definitions for politically appointed politically acting people in black robes to fuck over the citizens.
