stop mixing together actions meaning done (or doable) deeds, and statements such as speech an extreme example would be to ban all fictional writing because of the actions some reader may possibly take due to reading a about some terrible awful action. |

This is a completely arbitrary distinction.
In fact there are many crimes for which speech is enough to get jailed, like if you give instruction for a murder, “all” you did was speech. Racketing? Speech. Scam? Speech. Fiscal fraud? You just lied (=speech) to the IRS. Death threats? Speech. Harassment? Speech. Violation of Secret Defense? Speech.
Should all of the above be legal because speech is supposed to be special?
