>From the article, New York Civil Liberties Union President Stephen Gottlieb says, "We believe, most of us, in the Bill of Rights, and we believe that protects the freedom to speak." How is Constitutionally- protected freedom of speech imperiled when an agent of a private corporation asks someone to leave because his speech is offensive? Gottlieb is presumably a lawyer, since they tend to infest *CLUs. Either he missed Constitutional Law class the day they talked about scope of applicability of the Bill of Rights or else he's just a dumbass. -- Steve Furlong Computer Condottiere Have GNU, Will Travel Guns will get you through times of no duct tape better than duct tape will get you through times of no guns. -- Ron Kuby
