Free Speech and " Nuremberg Files " Web site

I just read the front page article in today's New York Times-

    " Anti-Abortion Site On Web Has Ignited Free Speech Debate ". There

    is no doubt in my mind that " The Nuremberg Files " creators are

    more like the Nazis than the assorted medical doctors willing to

    perform abortion for any woman freely seeking this still legal

    service.

           But I would not oppose their pathological Web site - with

    its " hit lists ". There are now MILLIONS of Web sites . The

    government should just forget about challenging the very existence

    of ANY them .

           The law should not deal with states of mind, just with

    criminal deeds. Perhaps such an ugly site is a " healthy " outlet

    for violent opinions that demand expression.

           What Presidents of the United States have observed is true

    for the rest of us : If someone is absolutely determined to kill

    or harm us - and is also willing to take big personal risks doing

    it - there is just not much we can do about it .

              There has been very little psychoanalysis of anti-abortion

    fanatics. Modern psychiatry - with its dumb enthusiasm for " miracle

    drugs " - is ignoring the human soul.

           A hint at the mind of an anti-abortion fanatic : a

    man whom I know very well -who frequently ranted and raved about

    the EVIL of abortion - suddenly cracked up one dreary January

    day... he was found naked in his oldest brother's bedroom, curled

    up IN THE FETAL POSITION ! His sixteen year old daughter was

    pregnant . He is being " treated " with lithium, but the drug

    does nothing to cure his very sick soul .
