    There is no slippery slope. You can actually quite easily define what is and isn't acceptable speech. When there's an edge case, simply debate and edit the law for next time. Don't these nerds like democracy and the rule of law??

      Liberals hate democracy. That's why there are so many distortions about who counts as a valid participant (no kids, few immigrants, no felons, etc). The idea of granting any kind of power to the unwashed masses terrifies them.

      The irony, if course, is that to the haute bourgeoisie they are almost all viewed as the unwashed. But then the working class libs do like it that way. They're easily convinced that under-educated, incompetent, and ignorant but rich or elected people are the best placed to make key decisions over our lives.

      Society built on the notion that the one in the suit knows what they're doing because of the way they dress and speak and inject baby parts into their faces.
