There is a lot of commercial compelled speech. For example, mutual funds must say that past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Do you find this kind of compelled speech unconstitutional?
Well I don't know how Duncan feels about it but I think it's highly unconstutional.
I can still publish a book and claim that borshch (Russian beet soup) cures cancer. However if I also offer to sell beets my mail order, the FDA can bite me. It's "constitutional" because it protects the olygopoly of the large drug companies with political connections. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
