   Clearly you *don't* believe that glorifying terrorist murders is the   
   same as either incitement to terrorism or soliciting to murder, both of   
   which are already illegal; if you genuinely thought there was no   
   difference, you'd think there was no need for this proposed legislation.   
      
   What do you say isn't caught by existing offences that ought to be   
   caught, and why?

   "It has been said," he began at length, withdrawing his eyes   
        reluctantly from an usually large insect upon the ceiling and   
        addressing himself to the maiden, "that there are few   
        situations in life that cannot be honourably settled, and   
        without any loss of time, either by suicide, a bag of gold, or   
        by thrusting a despised antagonist over the edge of a   
        precipice on a dark night."
