With this and certain recent court rulings, the promulgation of MTV/BET, the glorification of materialism, misogyny, nihilism, violence, and moral relatavism, what is your view of American culture and where it is headed? I prefer this not be a religious debate (see gay marriage thread). With that being said, can one be a libertarian for the good without allowing all of the bad?

The "F" word makes me cringe when I hear it anyway. But to answer your question, I work for the ACLU of Minnesota and that is one of the biggest conflicts I have. I believe in protecting free speech, but I have a hard time reconciling that with speech that is hatefulor unduly offensive. I would be interested in seeing what others say about this.
