But even given the tattered First Amendment, there is still a difference between speech and action.
Complete and utter bullshit.
And complete and utter loss of reputation capital on your part. It disagrees 100% with my interactions with law enforcement. If you wish to make point, at least make it believable.
It may well disagree 100% with YOUR interactions, however, that does not imply in any way that others have had the same experience. As for believeability, I don't give a rats ass if you, in the personal sense, believe me, Gloria Steinem, Matt Blaze, or any other asshole on the planet.

-- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
