RE: HUH??
There must be some kind of mistake, Mark, because only the Bush Administration restricts free speech. At least that's what I hear . . .
Truth is, in Europe, which loves to castigate us for keeping nudity off broadcast television, has never held political speech in the same regard we have. For them, "free speech" means being able to say "fuck" on TV, or have nude pictures in the newspapers, whereas to us it means being able to make political statements without fear of being jailed.
Which is one of the reasons we decided, 230 years ago, that we were going to do our own thing and let Europe do theirs.
