Where was your indignation about free speech last week when Blumenthaul was
called before Star's grand jury for, allegedly, saying bad things about
Star and his prosecutors?

I just wish the protesters at osu would have had something more
intelligent to say.

: I find this kind of thing amazing.  Meek individuals, admittedly
: "lurking yet not speaking" suddenly becoming so aroused by the written
: word of another they must respond.  They not only respond, they respond
: to each and every line and statement with a simplistic, childish aside
: that shows only a grade school concept of the constitution and real
: debate.  Screw you.  Snipping naughty words and telling others they
: should "love it or leave it" is pinheaded at its ignorant best.  These
: people are the perfect dupes of the politicians, blindly following any
: crap fed to them and buying into the fascist propaganda. Scott and Susan
: should get together and start a threatening letter writing campaign to
: stamp out dissent and make the world, Cowlumbus and Ohio State safe for
: milktoast thought.  Guess what kiddies?  Angsto has accomplished his
: mission, namely to get nervous nellies like you to stop being another
: "brick in the wall" and actually DO SOMETHING, even if its just to toss
: off your little backbiting nonsense. Waaah, waaaah, waaaaaaaaaaah!
: Crybabies.  You and yours have created the kind of society we live in
: today, one where it is immoral to have sex or look at it, and moral to
: bomb babies and claim to be proud of it.  Sick fuckers.

: Angsto returns to TV on Sunday, 3/15 & 3/22 and Wed. 3/18 & 3/25 at

: the Angsto takes Manhattan episode where a Penns. politician blows his
: brains out to the 1812 overture!
