do you exercise your free speech by talking to yourself?

In other words, you do approach people in the pursuit of your exercise of free speech in those instances where you proselytize. It is not just a matter of talking where you feel like talking to no one, as in your subway example that you gave in defense of your "free speech" to say what you like, when you like.

It is a matter of talking TO or AT those persons you arbitrarily pick and choose with whom to proselytize. Some actually have index cards and files on those they choose, as in nursing home patients where they exercise their free speech on Alzheimer patients.

Most do not go places uninvited either except for those not about to follow the rules of society.

I wonder who taught you that an unwanted or an uninvited approach is not subject to the rules and that if people do not like it, they should get out of your way, move from their own space,

, hold their hands over their ears to avoid the person, who uninvited and unwanted invades their space. That is really a control issue for the proselytizer who believes they are practicing their religion by barging in and over those in their way telling them to move if they do not like it.

about my question of what is in your mind when the space of others is invaded, who are angry at you for doing so, and who tell you to f**** off? I sense you are avoiding that. What is it you feel when so many are pissed off at the intrusion?
