I just don't feel that our government should be getting involved in matters such as what is obnoxious or what is blasphemous.

Ah, OK. Surely not this government. I can accept this as a statement of what modern governments are unable to do due to the cultural limitations. In principle, however, it should not be difficult to delineate between merely obnoxious and grossly insulting.

Perhaps in principle, but it's never going to be possible in practice... Heck, they can't even come up with a good definition of porn, let alone something as nebulous as obnoxious!
