Howdy George and everyone,

I concur with Will Lyster's first choice [for the Hugh M. Heftner First Amendment Award] ... (with exception taken with one of the two "other" choices) ... and "Hear ye, Hear ye" do here-by proclaim "Long live George Loper" (well-mannered regulator of free speech) a contender for the Hugh Marston Hefner First Amendment Award {HYPERLINK "http://www.loper.org/~george/trends/2001/Mar/14.html"}.
