That part was responding to your erroneous notion that speech and action are totally distinct. Some speech is action.

If you aren't clear on some other point, feel free to ask.

Speech is not action.

Free speech means most speech is protected, however there are specific instances of unprotected speech, such as inciting lawlessness or libel/slander. This speech can and is prosecuted, but it is still not action.

Keep asserting that buddy. But I'm telling you now, each essay I write is intended to change something in the world. If I didn't intend it as an action, I wouldn't bother writing it.
