I think what is missing when these slebs spout[as is their right] is the right to reply...and its the non ability to reply which really gets to people...their words are greated as if goldust were dripping...but no one gets to say...on yer bike yer muppet hmmm ... well, you're saying it now .. and publicly, too.  Anyone who chooses can take it to twitter or post it in the comments section of whatever newgroup runs the story online. Much better than it used to be. |

Much better than it used to be. true..i am saying it BUT..it wont get the publicity of the original speaker....so really its a very muted and constrained right to reply |

Doesn't mean those who do should have no freedom of speech. Even though I fairly loathe Ted Nugent and his gun advocacy, I don't resent and won't complain about his use of his free speech rights. |
