15. it's a very bad idea ...
if we don't like what a certain newspaper is printing, should we go to all the newstands and burn them down or steal all the newspapers?

no one has a right to restrict the public's access to information even if we think that information is distorted ... the proper vehicle to combat the lies should be through the legal system and through "counter education" ... we can make our own case to the American people without blocking their right to hear and watch whatever they choose to hear and watch ...

having said that, i must give great credit to the online political community for shining such a bright spotlight on the ABC film's distortions about 9/11 ...

ask yourself this: did Brit Hume and Fox news uncover the truth about the film and fight to have the errors corrected? so much for fair and balanced, eh?
