Is it just words that are indecent, or are there indecent ideas? The "I know it when I see it approach" just leaves too much room for individual discretion and persecution.

I agree that it is nebulous, but what do you propose be used as a standard?
I think even Howard knows where the line is. He just doesn't like that there are any lines at all that he cannot cross.
