Hi Tom, as you were just saying about Censorship....
TR> There will always be smaller groups
TR> of people who will not be happy with the vote of the majority. In
TR> the argument you gave, the majority would be at the top of the food
TR> chain.
TR> 
TR> Let's say that 1% of the population wanted to make, possess, and
TR> distribute kiddy porn. I guess they would be out of luck in this
TR> country if 99% of the population voted it to be evil and illegal.
TR> The point in previous messages is that some censorship is necessary.
TR> Just food for thought and discussion. 
Only one problem with that.  The purpose of our form of government is
to protect the rights of the minority from the majority.
