But what if little timmy asks it how to make a bomb? What if it's racist?

Then what?

It's fine. We have laws against blowing people up.

Racism is fine as well. I won't date out of my race and if you think there should be a law that I must that's not really freedom. As for hiring or not based upon race there's already a law against that.

The cure is often worse than navigating uneasy waters. Every time you pass a law you give a gun to a bureaucrat.

Well stated. People are so upset about racism/groupism/etc. I married within my race but my sister didn't. Different strokes for different folks. Freedom is about that.

And, every law is indeed a gun.

None of this should be a mystery. Making a bomb is literally something you can figure out with very little research (my friends and I used to blow up cow pastures for fun!).

Racism is a totally different and sadder issue. I don’t have a good answer for that one, but knowledge shouldn’t be withheld because someone thinks it is “dangerous”

Those that think that are the truly dangerous. They think they know better and want to remove agency from people.
