[QUOTE="Roadkill Coyote, post: 2798346, member: 13568"] I have admitted no such thing. I concede that they would be damaging to our liberties, so are most laws and regulations, to a greater or lesser degree. As to whether people will allow access to their medical records, we fork over our drivers license to buy decongestants. I'm not sure we are as staunch a majority as you suggest. Secondly, I am not suggesting that we abolish the First Amendment, only that we treat it with the same inviolable reverence that we do the Second. Call me a troll if you will, but if we are going to have food fight in the constitutional cafeteria, I don't think the jello slinging should be confined to just one table. one part is no more sacred than the other. I just popped over to FOX's site and clicked the first story about the shooting, and saw both the killer's name and pic. Voluntary has not worked, and a tool as weak as a boycott is not going to stop networks that are desperately fighting for views. They are making money drawing big numbers off of sensational reporting of these stories, and so a popular opinion campaign has to offset more than their normal revenue, I don't believe it can, I think, in this instance, it's a tragedy of the commons scenario.
