if you prosecute Zundel, not becuae of ``inciting hatred'' but because
of ``publishing something that is untrue'' then you have effectively
killed the book industry. Nobopdy is going  to publish anything but fiction
because it will be too much trouble to hire a board of experts who will
testify that there was ``reasonable grounds'' to believe that the
manuscript was true. And where do speculative works fit in? Religious
writings?

The question is should ``inciting hatred'' be a crime? Committing acts
of violence against my neighbours should be, and inciting acts of
violence -- but should just hating them be?
