How many times has our media covered horrific acts by someone to be followed
by what is coined "A Copy Cat"?
That's why I said it might be censored because it is dangerous. There
may even be liability issues. By the same token, I am not in favor of
allowing idiotic stunts on U-tube, such as ones that were briefly
popular years ago on "America's Funniest Home Videos" before they
cracked down. I also oppose broadcasting the locations of unprotected
oil refineries and other potential terrorist targets. Freedom of
speech is not, and never has been, absolute.
