I repeat:
Quote:
We can already have white pride marches and talk about the "wickedness" and "horrendous atrocities" of gay culture under the current laws. What good could possibly come from altering the Albertan law as it is, which only goes against publication of material which "is likely to expose a person or a class of persons to hatred or contempt"?
it's an ideological stance and not remotely a practical one to go for 'FREE SPEECH'. It's a nice dream, but the reality is that unlimited free speech can get really, really ugly. We don't live in a pleasant world, as fortunate as we are to be living in a relatively nice corner of it. It's the same problem all other ideological stances suffer from- they're principles, not pragmatic policies. That's why the NDP as they currently are will never govern Canada and if they do god help us all.

it's really nice that you have such strong principles, but until you explain to me what good it will actually do IN PRACTISE, I'm afraid you're not making much sense.
