I will refrain from addressing > it here. Again, why? I believe in the (acknowledged by the 4th ammendment) right to free speech. That doesn't mean that people have to listen to me, or to take what I say to heart, as if it were gospel. The right of someone to proselytize me stops at the point I slam my front door in their face. Your argument is that I should not be allowed to close my own door, or to buy locks for that door from a third party. > > Do you spend as much energy bitching at your local cable television > > company for not putting you on the air to voice your philosophy to > > the masses? > > Heavens no, my philosophy is not for everyone.
