I couldn't agree more.  People have got to start assuming personal
accountability for themselves.  If you don't like it don't see it.

Here is were we have to disagree.  Wouldn't it be correct to say that the
first amendment has more to do with public displays than private ones?  If he
wants to do his show on the Boston Common and there are people who want to

to be there and picket.
