Except when it comes to grieving parents or what people do in their bedroom and "that durned librul free press" thinks it is ok to publish it in the paper. Yea, that over steps the line for me.

You are probably one of those guys who support protests at soldiers funnerals.

So you're for a limited, restricted freedom of the press.

Congratulations, so is Fidel Castro.

Ad hominem: For when you absolutely, positively have no argument whatsoever.

Why do you want to get into what grieving parents do and post it in the press? What is your motivation?

My motivation? The preservation of the free press.

That even applies to - especially applies to - vultures. There is no need to protect popular reporting.

You're either for freedom, or you're not. It really just comes down to that. Liberty ain't always pretty, get a helmet.

Why don't you support a right to privacy for greiving parents?

Because, last I checked, the right to privacy protects you from government intrusion, not from reporting. And the free press is the free press. It wins...no matter how much it might offend you and I.

Your argument is like listening to shrieking liberals complain when people bash Jesse Jackson for saying something stupid..."What about his free speech?", when the government did nothing to shut him up.
