Again, if people will not impose limits upon themselves, they give up the right to govern themselves.
But who decides when your right to givern yourself should be taken away? If we had certain groups of people in office, it might be a MORE SEVERE crime to make defmaing remarks about certain groups of individuals. Because i speak my mind and dont like a certain group of people then if they become in power i have my right to govern taken away?
Its a dangerous precendent and someone HAS to draw a line somewhere. Child porn really wasnt the line i wanted to draw it at but with drugs, drunk driving, fatty foods, cigarettes, so many things that are "Bad for you in society" its only a matter of time that talking bad about people, having sex because of disease, getting too much sun, etc will all be banned because "we dont know how to govern ourselves."
