The latter is often designed to achieve the former. So let me say then that we have some legislation in .au that in certain contexts compels people to behave in a manner approved of by minority groups, and yet we're not living in a totalitarian PC clampdown. Sure, it's a far cry from restricting what you can say in a classroom or workplace to controlling your every action. But then again, it's a far cry from keeping a package out of debian to controlling your every action. b.
