  I'm sorry, but (to repeat the same refrain) people in the US are
protected by the first amendment plain and simple.  It's not just
a good idea, it's the law.

  I have enough faith in humanity to tolerate free speech.  Sometimes
trying to censor "bad" speech is worse than letting people make up
their own minds.  Sheesh.  But then if I recall my history correctly,
Boston has always dabbled in censorship: something that I'm in
total disagreement with.

  So am I.
