Re: In our State's defense... said by Snowy:I'd rather have challenged but accountable legislatures writing/enforcing the rules.
Which makes my point exactly!
As does the post immediately above.

kudos:8 | Apparently this knee-jerk feel-good legislation is being reviewed to try to fix constitutional issues;
... Horowitz's (David Horowitz of the Media Coalition, a legal association that represents businesses' First Amendment interests,) group sent a letter to Gov. Jan Brewer after the bill passed on March 29 urging her to veto it because it "plainly violates the First Amendment." He said Jon Stewart's comedy routines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, and even angry online banter among fans of rival sports teams could face prosecution if an Arizona resident were offended by their profanity or lewdness.
Arizona lawmakers have stopped the bill from going to Brewer's desk for now and plan to alter it.

Well many don't care or have no problem with that as evidenced by many postings in this thread.
BTW it illustrates, to all, the great philosophical divide in the US today. No consensus is possible between the two views.

No consensus is possible between the two views. To be fair, there is a third group of "one is not mutually exclusive of the other" which is more of the sense I get rather than only 2 opposing views that's all or nothing. That's fine if you feel it is all or nothing too. Personally, I tend to explore things from all sides before conclusion.
