"... it seems like you're opening the door here for the ... GOVERNMENT ... to regulate what citizens can and cannot say. ...There's a slippery slope here ... I do NOT like the idea of the government deciding the content of my speech.".
Of course, I'm sure that you're well aware of the fact that the "GOVERNMENT" has been bought by those monied interests who lobby our congress and elect our presidents. It's common knowledge that they donate to all major candidates on all tickets just to make sure they control the legislation that gets passed. And, this case with Imus is not outside that framework. Imus was out of control--he had to be removed sooner or later. When he made the fatal mistake,
BAM!! That was it--he turned into history. No matter who you are, you--TOO--can be replaced. That is the ultimate test of power. It doesn't mean a thing if it doesn't have the sting. It's how the players get to know who is in control. Don't rock the boat.
