The Harm in Hate-Speech Laws
Submitted by Westernerd on Thu, 2012-05-31 03:00
"For proponents of hate-speech laws, the state ought to watch vigilantly over us, ever alert that some miscreant may cross the boundaries (set of course by the state itself) of acceptable dissent from the regnant orthodoxy of multicultural society. I cannot think that such a tutelary power has a place in a free society."
