Excellent conversation.

MY point is that there is a huge difference between how individuals or corporations CHOOSE to act with respect to perceived social norms, and what the Government lawfully IMPOSES upon the populace.

We can and should hold individuals responsible when they fail to show dignity and respect towards people or groups. You can choose not to listen to or buy products that offend you. You can choose to not be offended. You can choose to take action.

However, trying to outlaw words or ideas is stupid, IMO.
