So if I choose not to buy a product, say, Coors beer, because I don't like the politics of the owner of Coors then I'm censoring or violating some type of freedom???? And I can't get a bunch of my friends to boycott a product either? So everybody that is not buying Exxon products because of the oil spill is censoring Exxon, right? On yeah, almost forgot. I don't tolerate socialism, communism, fascism, Pol Pot, N. Korea, Vietnam, PRC, and Albania. I am against the free expression of ideas in such areas as teaching and encouraging youngsters to kill, steal, and commit arson, as well as yelling FIRE falsely in a movie theater. ------Me and my dyslexic keyboard---------------------------------------------- Phil Ronzone Manager Secure UNIX pkr@sgi.COM {decwrl,sun}!sgi!pkr Silicon Graphics, Inc.
