> Draw the line at intolerance - the only thing we should not tolerate is intolerance itself.

The law should be codified hypocrisy?

By this logic, we should we be allowed to steal from people who believe in communism because they don't believe that property rights are morally justified. If they don't believe in private property, why should they get it?

Here's a better idea: don't start shit, and if someone starts shit with you, you can do whatever needs to be done to protect your rights. This has the advantages of A) not being absurdly hypocritical and B) not violating people's rights in an effort to preempt behavior you think might hypothetically emerge from the expression of those rights.

How do you propose to enforce censorship laws? Ask nicely?
