[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I forget the guy's name. Might be off on the details, it was at least ten years ago. I know what you said to Jay. I just don't agree with it. I think Scalia can comment on matters of law without it necessarily compromising his impartiality. After all, he's just one of nine Justices. However, the fact remains he was giving a public speech because he IS a Justice, and that makes it a matter of public record. Interesting article. Might be worth discussing; certainly the gulfs between total censorship and total free speech, and between privacy and free speech, are very similar in that the law needs to find some ground in between, that can change according to individual circumstances - and it's very hard if not impossible to legislate for that. For me, in the case of censorship, it comes down to taste - and how do you put something as nebulous (especially given how individual taste can be) as that? I've long characterised it thus: while I believe that, say, hard-core porn should be available to the public, I don't really want to see a rack of it in WHSmiths. I'm quite happy with it being only available in licenced sex shops. [/QB][/QUOTE]
