I realize I'm off the mark a tad here, but my daughter and I were at
the drug store last night when we overheard a man complaining loudly
to his wife, this while standing in front of a display of hardback
novels, "There's just no censorship anymore! This country is
going downhill fast!" Someone across the room echoed his sentiments,
"Amen, brother!"

"Obscenity and hate speech alike only become free speech issues when their
foes turn from censure to censorship. When we decided to let a thousand
flowers bloom, we always knew that some of them would be weeds."
