22991, Not libertarian Posted by janey, Thu Jul-27-00 11:59 AM
this is one of the basic principles on which the United States was founded.
I tend to agree, although only with respect to non-commercial speech (I think we can place appropriate limits on commercial speech, like Truth in Advertising, etc.). I think that, ultimately, as harmful as hate speech is, it is less harmful than limiting speech.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Peace.
