Mister Moose yelled "fire" in a crowded theater. Many people were trampled to death and injured, but Mister Moose insisted it wasn't his fault. Now when he yells fire, no one listens because he got 25 to life.

Dancing Bear went on TV to advertise Famous Brand cigarettes. He died from cancer, but not before hooking millions of kids on cigarettes with his cute dancing bear routine.

Mister Green Jeans was a spokesman for Ford Motor Company. I say "was", because he died when his Crown Vic was tapped from behind in a fender bender.

And Sad Mr. Kangaroo had only his extensive collection of pr*n and brand name beer to console himself. Then one day, Mr. Kangaroo became president, said many silly things and started World War Three, and everyone died. The End.

We don't contend that there should be free speech without reservations! But the fact that there should be limits does not preclude humanity from the right to express an opinion! Who will be the gatekeeper of what constitutes valid criticism? Mr. Moose and Company 17:03:41 11/27/02 Wed

Interestingly enough, in recent years the left is often been more guilty of curtailing free speech than the right, especially in academic settings. Both a city council member and a teacher have been suspended for the correct use of the word "niggardly." -- The Town Clown, 18:05:00 11/27/02 Wed

There's a mountain of difference between a deliberate misstatement of facts and the expression of an unpopular opinion! Mr. Rogers 17:25:42 11/27/02 Wed
