John Stossel I believe the government does not have a right to limit violence in entertainment. Free individuals are their own best censors. Not if they are not mandatory. The founders fought for liberty, and we, in the name of political correctness, or being 'sensitive', are voluntarily giving up our freedom, bit by bit. Government is force.
Lawsuits are force.
John Stossel I don't know about root, but it is certainly one of the causes. John Stossel I don't think it can be. Although I expect moronic politicians will try. They will pass laws where they can pretend to have done good. No, I think it is good that it is generally seen as 'bad' behavior, but having the government try to define which words constitute verbal harassment so severe that the state should punish the speaker is a threat to our liberty.
