This whole "let the market decide" bit, quite frankly, turns my stomach.  How
about letting common decency and a respect for the rights of the individual
decide.  You're familiar with the "rights of the individual," aren't you, Eric?
On an issue like this, especially, quite frankly I expected much better out of you.

(Gotta search up that "Internet User Bill of Rights" thing again and get on it, I
guess.)
