a rose by any other name... 
and it's not so much the free speech issue for me, it's the unbelievable stupidity of it, the total waste of resources. if we ban the word hate will people stop hating? no. if we invest some resources in educating people about the ill effects of hate, chances are that would do worlds more good in the long run. i also get a chuckle out of the sheer namby-pamby pussyfication they showed in not actually spelling out the word nigger in the legislation. in 500 years, (after the collapse of our electronic communications network ) when our descendants are digging throuhg old documents and come across this bit of brilliance, i wonder if anyone will even know wtf they were talking about. |
