Bob- you sem to be misisng a point as well. Why do you think we have free speech? Is there such a thing as free speech if people are punished for exercising it? Of curse not. So I have to assume you don' tbelieve in free speech. or maybe you just believe in it for things that you don't find offensive? That type of free speech is worthless, since things that no one finds offensive don't require protection.

It always makes me laugh that the patriots who claim to love America's freedoms, really only like those freedoms when they mean freedom to do things they agree with. Under that criteria, people were free under the Taliban -- they were free to do anything that religious fanatcis weren't offended by.
