607. No, we can't talk "reasonably"
when you are tiptoeing toward censorship while piling up verbiage to make it sound like a good liberal cause.

Did you ever see a movie called "The Accused" with Jodi Foster? Very powerful film about rape and the legal system. The "invisible line" you propose would have kept that movie from being produced.

"Free speech is great and all but enough is enough, people, right?" When I think about it your argument is really fucking scary. It's exactly like the neocon argument for spying, torture, etc.... And if I try to counter it from the point of view of the Constitution, I will be accused of supporting suicide bombers and the subjugation of women.

Or are you with your wife in the, "Oh, nothing can actually be done about it but I'm going to be all pouty until everyone says how bad it is" camp?
