Madam, I do respect your plea for decency.  However, history shows us
*majority* rule or majority standards is/are not necessarily what's right
and just, nor in the best interest of the society.  Standards change, and
rulers change.  Be careful for what you ask.

Freedom of speech must be allowed to exist unfettered, lest the views of
the strong be imposed upon the weak.
Which crowd do you fit into?
