X-Message-Number: 1612 Date: 14 Jan 93 01:56:29 EST From: MICHAEL RISKIN <> Subject: CRYONICS: "IDEAS" Many of you have jumped on Paul Wakfers statement that ideas themself were harmless and suppression was a violation of our most fundamental individual right. Ideas are harmful only in the same sense that guns are harmful, only guns are quicker and harder to defense. Yes, achild can be hurt being told and convinced that poison is candy and so can the child be harmed by a stray bullet from a driveby shooting. Once again, it is people that kill, not guns, not ideas. "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" and when ideas are censored only the censors will "have " ideas. Who of you voicing vigorous objection to Paul are willing to be disarmed. Not me. The mistake Paul made was to leave out the "It is not OK to yell fire in a crowded theater" concept.
