RE: Soccer Fans Attempt to Burn American Flag

True... if we believe in freedom... it has to be for everyone. We may not
agree with their views but they have as much right to their views as we do.
It would be wise to be open to differing points of view... you never know...
sometimes you may see that your opposition has some points too. If we
sensor... then we end up with injustice and we all know where that ends up!
This brings to mind the Arian nation march up north. I always though that
the best thing for everyone to do would be to not show up. It would have
been victory if they were there marching in a ghost town. I would have loved
that. It would have given the correct message that we do not have time for
their twisted views. In my view it would have been a far more elegant
response to those dirt bags!

Actually, that's about the only part of it that isn't disappointing... it's
nice to know that civil liberties around the world are not (yet) suffering
to appease the bloodlust...
