Telegraph | Opinion | Making a pig's ear of defending democracy

Mark Steyn cites a story out of Britain that is scary. I second Eugene Volokh's comments on the subject. Once you have a right not to be offended, the only way that right can be enforced is by controlling each and every act of the people with whom you come in contact, with the incredibly subjective standard of "Did X's actions/word bug me?" as the threshold for state action.
