fundamentalist groups that want to curb freedom of speech are having a field day. do not give 1 cm. instead, consider the following quote from a hollywood producer:

What’s even more ominous is that CNN is currently running a poll on their website: “Would you accept more government involvement in your life if it meant more security against terrorism?” That’s really an are-you-still-beating-your-wife kind of pseudo-question, since whether you answer YES or NO doesn’t matter – it stinks either way. It is, in its own way, a kind of terrorist question. (Everybody stop now and go look up “terrorism” in the dictionary. Don’t accept what media tools say; just go look it up for yourself. We’ll wait.) What it doesn’t address is the bald reality that “security from terrorism” is impossible, due to the nature of terrorist acts. “Security from terrorism” is practically an oxymoron. Security is a comforting illusion, not an absolute. But if you answer NO to the CNN question, the perception is that one “supports terrorism.” The Spanish Inquisition couldn’t have twisted language any better.

another great quote:

Look, there are people in the USA today in 2001 who still want HUCKLEBERRY FINN out of libraries. Addressing the lunatic, repressive fringe only gives them legitimacy. If you don’t like a film, don’t give it 2 hours of your life. Period. Then shut up.
