What's scary to me is when William Gibson (the author) does a radio interview and later some government flunky sits him down to give him the "your with us or against us" speech. I find "free speech" zones pretty scary too. I don't the links to either of these handy but I like the guy who said something like "by definition, whereever I'm standing is a free speech zone". |

As long as both sides agree to certain terms and limitations they are free to do whatever else they want step over that line and expect retribution. Its up to each individual to protect his or her freedoms as rigorusly as the secret service protects the president.
BTW: The concentration camp joke was a bit insensitive. No one deserves that, even in jest. |

Sponsor | | jhanajian | Nov 16, 2004 3:14pm | I can appreciate your point, Augusto. Power corrupts, and it would likely corrupt even those who now rant against the abuse of power in others.
But you must be careful of what you say, even jokingly, in this freedom-loving group, Augusto. |
