All I EVER suggested is simply a discussion that perhaps the endless amount of vile (I am not talking about naked pictures of people) crap on the net might not be the best thing. I have NEVER suggested that the goverment control this. A discussion that's all.
If you find the most horendous stuff online a non-issue then I suppose we do not have much to talk about. This material is wrong. It hurts, if no one else, the people (mostly women) who are being abused because no one will defend and help them.
The constitution cuts both ways. We each have rights, and when they conflict, the courts determine the end. I am comfortable in the knowledge that reasonable people sit on the courts and not some lock-step, knee-jerk reactionary like yourself (mod me into oblivion over that, I don't care). Time and time again, the courts have ruled in favor of substantial freedom, even in the face of a repressive goverment like we are currently living through.
In the final analysis, free speech will be preserved to the furthest extent possible, while at the same time putting reasonable limits on it.
