Does anyone out there remember all those nuts with shaved heads 
running around the airports selling books and flowers?  Why not just
give these modern day people a little box from which to preach as they
have in an airport.

A business has the right to DO BUSINESS and if someone is on his property
and is limiting his ability to do business he has every right to have 
them removed.  Trying to dodge people who try to stick a pamphlet in
your face is quite annoying.  The rest of us have rights also, sometimes
people forget this small fact.

One last note on the comment that large shopping malls are going to
take over the country.  It simply isn't true.  Marketing studies show
that it takes 250,000 people within 30 minutes driving time to support
a large shopping mall.  Further it has been shown that there are may be
1 or 2 spots left in the United States that would be able to handle such
a mall.  To go along with that it is the local shopping center that is
predicted to grow during the next decade. (Reference _Marketing Concepts_
by Dr Boone and Dr. Kurtz)  Each of these authors is well known and widely
published in the field of marketing.  I have also had the pleasure of taking
a marketing class taught by Dr. Kurtz.

So you see shopping malls aren't really monsters from your closet of
horrors, they are just a place people like to go and shop without being
told what to think or how to vote.

Cheers,
