The problem with censorship is nobody is qualified to decide what should be censored. Everyone has their own agenda which skews their view of what is acceptable and what isn't. Almost every time censorship is imposed by a government, it creates more problems than it solves.
In college sports, mascots are not unique. How many colleges use "Buldogs" as their mascot? I can think of four right away (Yale, Georgia, Georgetown and MSU). I know there are several others. You can complain if another college uses the same or very similar image but you can't do anything about using the same mascot.
Slow learner? I haven't voted for a Democrat in any presidential election since I started voting in 1976. I haven't always voted for the Republican either. Lately, neither party has been worth voting for.
Not only should the case be thrown out. The winery should have to pay the legal fees of the construction company. This case shows the merit of the UK's "looser pays" system.

This would fall under "fair use". The images are the topic of conversation, not being used to promote something else. This is why a news agency can show a picture of a store front and not get sued for "using" the store's logo.
If communism is so great, why do they have to spend so much time and money convincing people how great it is? China, North Korea, Vietnam and others spend fortunes making sure nobody says anything bad about the government. If communism is such a great system then it should be able to stand the criticism.
What everyone seems to misunderstand is that the government no longer works for the people. It works for big business. It is business that provides the funding that gets these people elected and business expects a return on their investment. Liberal or conservative, it doesn't matter. That is why the Founding Fathers wanted to limit the federal government.

If the government only controlled what it understood, it wouldn't control anything. There isn't a single department of the federal government that works well.
