I think we're taking this "web" thing in the wrong direction. It's getting to the point where anybody can make a web page and have it instantly accessible to jillions of people worldwide. It is important to preserve freedom of speech, but free speech is not what the web is doing. The web is providing an audience. Nowhere in the Bill of Rights was the "freedom to have people listen to you while you're practice your freedom of speech" mentioned, even off-handedly. Now, with the technological achievement that is the World Wide Web, we've got total morons spouting off at people who are paying attention. Of course, people that pay attention to morons (for other than entertainment purposes) are morons themselves, and that's even worse. If there's anything worse than a moron, it's a congregation of them sharing non-ideas with each other. I'm not saying we should stop them -- that would be an illegal and undesirable infringement on our rights as a whole -- I'm just saying it should be legal to shoot stupid people.
