i'm gonna agree with lordjeebus (love the name) and add that anything that could cause physical harm/panic should be(and in most cases is) illegal. what i mean is, if you were to be in a crowded movie theater and yell "fire" or "there's a bomb under my seat" causing panic in the audience and a stampede for the door in which people could be injured, that should not be (is not?) protected under free speech.
but otherwise, ideological messages, political/religous messages, all of that stuff needs to be and remain protected. someone, can't remember who, said something like "i may not agree with what you say, but i'll fight to the death to protect your right to say it."
