It is the same line.

Hence my slippery slope concerns. There is already noise being made about regulating cable. If successful, do you not think the internet is next?

I do not think the internet is next and I don't think that attempt to regulate cable will be successful. Time regulations, maybe, but the government has always been able to regulate time, place, manner of speech. Just not content.

I don't think any discrimination against italians compared to the discrimination that the jews have encountered in this country. True, the jews were more persecuted in europe than in the US, but there are parts of the US, like the south, where jews faced quite a bit of discrimination.
