| Message | NPMP cannot support this limitation upon the freedom of expression. Once "hate-speech" is outlawed in the media, then we have the thorny issue of defining it and the very strong possibility of people being pilloried for "hate-speech" simply because they were expressing an unpopular opinion. Besides, it's worth the possibility of an uproar to know what people are *really* thinking... |
