6. Prison is an appallingly stupid, not mention unjust, way to combat...

...hate speech. It's censorship in the extreme and risks conveying/lending credibility where none is deserved. Nut cases are best left ignored. If they somehow manage to draw enough interest (unlikely) to become a force, then they should be answered with counter arguments designed to expose them for what they are. Efforts to silence are ALWAYS suspect -- we should be above it.
