In the tabloid age, people think that they can say what they want. This is not (covered) by free speech. The truth is you can't just say what you want.

This isn't a free speech issue. You can't just go on and say anything about anybody ? and keep your job.

Prices rose 4 cents today (in San Diego), and that is not unusual lately. There is profit-taking; no one can avoid that conclusion.

We don't know if that's going to cause some people to change their minds. Historically when gas prices have gone up, people have not changed their minds.

Some people's idea of [free speech] is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.

Free speech is not a bogus issue. It is an issue.
