I guess my fetish is showing, but I'm kind of attached to written words and their free circulation. Call me a liberal, but I believe that even vile pigs like Horowitz should be free to say and write what they want. And saying there's no state involved, and therefore no issue of censorship, is a bit of a dodge; if it ever came down to who could summon the largest number of goons, we'd lose.
