I also see a contradiction in this phrase:
Quote:
We call on our local, state and federal governments to uphold our cherished First Amendment right to free speech by vigorously enforcing our laws against obscenity to maintain a degree of separation between that which is truly speech and that which only seeks to distort and destroy.
There's this book called ``Seven Words You Can't Say on Television'' by Steven Pinker ... I think we need to send these guys a copy of it, `obscenity' does have a goal ... It's also part of human nature (But then again, I would guess the CP doesn't believe in `human nature' either).

Its just that nothing will fire up a forum thread like political, religious, social arguments, its better left to anonymous message boards
Anonymous message boards where everyone can flame and troll without any repercussions ... yeah, great places for mature and serious discussions!
