    Platt, DM and all:

    Unlike government, the market can't put a gun to your head to make you
    behave a certain way. Freedom means freedom from government coercion.

    Right. Because the gun held to their heads was privately owned, all the
    slaves bought and sold in colonial America were actually quite free. And
    because these were not government guns, those shot in the head with them
    were not really dead. Your insight is sheer genius.

    Platt said:
    We already see the danger to freedom in threats by the FCC to censor Howard
    Stern and other avoidable "offensive" acts. The logical next step is to
    censor all criticisms of the government as detrimental to the public good.
    Scary stuff don't you think?.

    dmb says:
    And you're extremely well informed too. Clear Channel, the
    quasi-monopolistic media giant that also banned Lennon's "Imagine" for being
    too communist and the Dixie Chicks for criticizing Bush, was actually the
    one to can Howard Stern, not the FCC.
