Freedom to do good is completely worth the cost of freedom to do bad. See, there'll always be bad in the world, no matter what. (Just look at Hollywood.) If there's something that'll help bring about more good, then I'm all for it, even if it carries along with it the potential for evil misuse. Let's not throw away all our tools, even if the enemy has stolen them and appropriated them for his evil deeds, but instead let us take them and build and fight. The tools were ours first.

This introduces both good and bad. The good: any joe can have an amazing amount of sway among the people that read him. The bad: any joe can have an amazing amount of sway among the people that read him. I suppose in the end, the good outweighs the bad. Very interesting post, Ben.
