George, The Free Speech Board might be better appreciated if Americans began to be aware of how little free speech we actually have. Is it a land of free speech when you can be fired from a job by saying you drive a Jap car, rather than a Japanese car? Is it free speech when you serve on a jury and are forbidden to ever tell anyone what went on? Is it free speech when you can be fined, possibly jailed, for saying "Someone in that house died of AIDS?" My web site has a page exploring what I call the myth of free speech
in the US. It's interesting reading, and it's all true. Rey Barry (electronic mail, May 24, 2005)
