Freedom of speech is very important, of course, some people's freedom
of speech is more important than others.  Does this mean I think
ken perlow is 'restricting' freedom of speech? No.  Is he being 
'close minded', or rude.  Welllllllll.....

Gee, ken, I've had it with people, wherever they are from, who don't
want to listen to the facts about the lovely Soviets.  Of course, 
we should all be willing to listen to people with personal experience,
right?  If someone came back from El Salvador and criticised that
government, I refuse to believe you'd be as rude to them as you have
been here.  I often am skeptical and ironic.  There is a difference between 
that and rudeness.

Like you care.
