I suppose the only thing I am REALLY sure of is my inalienable right to
say what I please, in any forum I choose, and your cooresponding right
not to listen.  :-)  I am a strong believer in the responsibility of
parents to monitor the activities of their children, and limiting free
speech because a couple of misguided adolescents were coerced or charmed
into running away with a pedophile is insufficient rationale for
undermining 250 years of 4th amendment rights.  I also believe that the
pandering to religious extreamism and victorian sensibilities the current
crop of legislators is engaging in is much more shameful than any
linguistic construct I can generate.  And finally,  "First they came for
the Jews, and I did nothing..."
