Message | even curb on free speech and supposedly voicing of mis-information seems total curtailing of print media freedom, mis-information for one may be the right info for the other, so let us consider it more factually and extend full support, thank you!! |

Message | That is a good logical premise on the SURFACE, but the problem is that the MASSES of the poor and UNEDUCATED people of Likatonia would not be that intelligent enough to DISCERN misleading or false information. The current law does NOT condemn "mis-information" from a SUBJECTIVE standpoint but that which is OBJECTIVELY false. |

Message | "but the problem is that the MASSES of the poor and UNEDUCATED people of Likatonia would not be that intelligent enough to DISCERN misleading or false information." If the CWFP holds such contempt for the People it is no wonder they have only six seats in Convocation. |

Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
