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.
