"My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them"

This quote by Fran Lebowitz suggests that she thinks that liberty of speech must be restricted in public areas, such as dining establishments, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and outlet store. She believes that discussions in between consenting adults in private must be of little interest to her, in addition to the grownups involved. This suggests that she thinks that discussions in public must be more closely kept track of, as they are more likely to be heard by individuals who may not have granted hearing them. She believes that conversations in personal need to be respected, as they are not most likely to be heard by anyone else. This quote suggests that Fran Lebowitz thinks that liberty of speech should be restricted in public locations, but appreciated in personal.
