Hey folks, let's get to the root of the issue here.  We've had over 200
years of this silly constitutional experiment called "Free Speech" and
it has caused us nothing but grief all around.  We should all get together
to have that pesky First Admendment repealed so we can finally silence
those who don't agree with the majority and not have to deal with all this
unnecessary conflict in our society!

Although Hitler, Stalin and countless Third Word dictators had bad PR for
some of their other undertakings, you've got to give them credit for creating
orderly societies by quashing the individual's right to voice an unpopular
opinion.  No, we shouldn't move towards becoming a totalitarian society like
these people had; but we should take a page from their book and quash
disenting opinion at the source because it only forms messy problems for
our society to have to waste energy on.

My compliments to REAL MEN and Frank Welte in making this post.  It was
constructed in such a way as to go out to all sorts of newsgroups but if
you replied, the reply would go only to "alt.feminism".  A very clever way
to squelch disent on the spot.  Job well done and keep up the good work
is stiffling open discussion on any topic you've already made up your
mind about.  America needs more people like you!  God bless!
