And what's displayed on it is not the property of the company, but the US 
Government and the most easily-offended person in your community, no matter 
how irrational. The corporations freak out because they're right in the 
cross hairs of moronic laws (albeit written with good intentions, but we 
know where that road leads).

This is yet another example of why we need to be vigilant about repressive 
laws, even when we can't imagine them being used against us. Because some 
prosecutor or civil attorney trying to get a promotion and make a name for 
himself will do so.
