No, because I don't know of *any* boundary conditions where it would hold,
contrasted with the many boundary conditions where "don't yell at your kids"
is invalid, and the few boundary conditions where "free speech" is invalid.
(to your example, I've already said I don't hold with eating dolphins. Cows,
on the other hand, have had all characteristics that might make them self
aware enough to even discuss rights bred out of them and I have no problem
whatever in seeing them raised for the slaughter. I had a great steak
yesterday... right off my grill.)
