I dunno Trip, I'm with 929 on this one....your argument (while true) is akin to saying if you want to STOP Westboro Baptist (since that was brought up) you need to blame President John Adams for signing the first amendment which ALLOWS them the vehicle to BE the dousche bags they are.
And while you're correct in the fact that the (theoretical) MAP itself isn't illegal, NOR is any of the information provided ON said map...to publish it and endanger people in that manor is WRONG.
What it boils down to, is while it's not illegal to do some things...."back in the day" your ass woulda got DELT with over stuff like this, and it just wouldn't HAPPEN.
I mean, "back in the day" if you were to jump up on the courtyard wall at lunch in HS and tell everyone that Tito's momma was a whore because she slept with [name all the confirmed penis penetrations] that wouldn't be technically "illegal". In fact...it'd be basically announcing publically what many already knew. But we'd expect Tito to go into yo ass over it, and no one would likely bat an eye.
Nowadays....thanks to PC and bullying laws, the pussification of america would not only protect you, but would put Tito away for life for even looking at you wrong after such an announcement in the courtyard.
The country has gone to shit. Basically because we no longer hold anyone accountable for doing something we all know is WRONG, but not illegal.
