Re: Human Rights Act
As someone who frequently argues just to hear his own head rattle, I
suspect you of doing the same with this. Taken seriously, your argument
tries to remove responsibility for damage from individual nutcases who
fling a rock through Pete's window and socialize it by blaming the media.
It also follows the current trend of immediately casting about for some
deep pockets, no matter how remote to the matter at hand, to be forced to
pay for any harm to any individual.
Perhaps the final contradiction of your position is that you want Pete to
sue the media, USING THE COURT SYSTEM. If you feel the court system is so
irrelevant that the *media* can impose penalties and sentences, why not
engage other media (e.g., radio companies) to judge the tabloids, find them
guilty, and impose and enforce penalties?
I haven't said anything about Pete suing the media.
