I'm 100% against the political use of censorship, but 100% for the reasonable use of government to promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves, and our posterity.
- FireBeyond 2y agoRight? I missed the part where a business is "entitled" to that. There was a really good quote I've never been able to find again, along the lines of "just because a business has always done things a certain way, doesn't mean they are exempt from changes".
- turol 2y ago"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to the public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute or common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back." Robert Heinlein in "Life-Line"
