It's interesting for me to find this message today about MY first amendment
rights and freedom of speech.  I too as a decent US of America citizen am
"supposed" to be entitled to that privilege not just political people like
Kenneth Starr, but I wonder where my freedom of speech has gone (?)

I'd really like for you to check out my website
(http://www.geocities.com/collegepark/library/7652) where I have posted a
letter by Ohio State University trying to censor and cover up what they have
already done to me and many other people.  I am damn sick of that school
stomping their feet around and getting everything they demand no matter who
they hurt or screw up, and the media covers for them.
