Crimes".

""You were fully aware of the power of words, and you used the radio -
the medium of communication with the widest public reach - to disseminate
hatred and violence," wrote presiding Judge Navanethem Pillay in
sentencing to life in prison Ferdinand Nahimana, founder of Radio
Television des Mille Collines.
"Without a firearm, machete or any physical weapon, you caused the
death of thousands of innocent civilians.""

Caused the death of thousands of civilians", hell, the same can be said
of the Mainstream media, promoting unrestrained sex, correlating sex with
violence, promoting violence, promoting drug use, promoting idiotic
behavior, (Jackass from MTV comes to mind), promoting abortion, etc.,
etc., etc.

Hate Speech, though in this case the offenders probably actually called
for the murder and desolation of a specific group of people and their
properties, one has to fear the broader application of such reasoning.

Hate Speech may be more in the ears of the offended than it is in the
mouth of the offender.

strands of time, so big it cannot be seen, yet so little it is immovable,
lies the fabric of the ultimate reality gripped in the tiny fist of the
all or nothing."
