This was an interesting posting, but a disappointment. Based on the
subject line, I thought you'd make fun of all the folks who foolishly

"The very purpose of the First Amendment is to foreclose public
authority from assuming a guardianship of the public mind. ... In this
field every person must be his own watchman for the truth, because the
forefathers did not trust any government to separate the truth from
the false for us."
