...this fight runs true to form, consumers can expect to be winners, at least in the short term. They will get better products, and they may see some out-and-out price wars as Panasonic tries to lure away consumers and the others defend their turf at any cost.

But what kind of freedom can we possibly aspire to if we cannot learn from the politics and views of others, if somebody else’s politics are so offensive to us that we cannot bear to listen to them, learn to understand them if not embrace them? Disruptive protest has its time and place, but so does listening to contrary opinion (which is not the same thing, I should add, as complacency...
