Is that what I said Jeffy? Where? Perhaps you not only want free
speech but the right to say what others say? What I said was that the
message sounds like the speech of Marxist activists. I meant exactly
what _I_ said.  On the subject of `free speech', the Constitution said
only that Congress should make no law interfering with freedom of
speech - but Congress did make such a law, calling it campaign finance
reform, and the Supreme Court ignored the Constitution and opined that
it was just fine. That sounds like the opinion of a Marxist activist
Court to me. So please don't get so free with _my speech_ in the
future since I doubt that we agree on anything.
