But these ("hate speech", "free speech") are not mutually exclusive; I would argue that is impossible to have truly "free speech" unless one allows what is sometimes referred to as "hate speech". Not (as I hope everyone knows) that I'm in favor of bigotry, racism, sexism, etc.; but I want it up-front and center where it presents a nice big target for rebuttal and sarcasm. The most evil proponents of pure hatred are helpless in the face of good comedy. ---Rsk ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
