P.S.: Regarding limits on "freedom of speech" in the U.S., take a look at the long list Tim May posted a few months back. (I was scoffing at Perry's claim that we had nearly complete freedom of speech in the U.S., and then Tim responded with much more detail.)
This may have been more than a "few" months back...maybe even more than several. I'm not sure when I wrote this, and I have too many megs of past messages to find it.

The gist (without examples right now) is that the U.S. has a truly stunning amount of regulation of speech. Between regulation of professions, restrictions on product claims, the whole mess of tort law, and the various anti-discrimination and fairness laws, the only speech which is truly free is that of penniless idiots spouting off in public parks.
I disagree with this, but no need to argue about it here. --D. -- David Mandl Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.
