I suggest you tell that to Larry Flynt. I suggest you tell that to the
draft evaders who are currently being prosecuted as examples because they
publicly promoted draft evasion instead of privately evading the draft. I
suggest you tell that to the people who force 'adult' magazines out of
stores, 'adult' films out of theaters, and evolution out of biology texts.
I suggest you think VERY carefully what the 'freedoms' you enjoy in the
US are versus what they are supposed to be.
