More than seven years after 9/11, the government continues to curtail speech, assembly and access to information in the name of national security with hardly a complaint from the general public. Meanwhile, satire in "The New Yorker" and the film "Tropic Thunder" generates plenty of protests. Have Americans lost their sense of humor -- and their sense of outrage about attacks on our fundamental rights? Join us for this thought provoking Presentation!

Jane Kirtley has been the Silha Professor of Media Ethics and Law at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota since August 1999. Jane also is an attorney and a member of the New York, District of Columbia, and Virginia bars.
