Great article. The only free speech that matters is the kind you don't like. When you start to oppose something because it is emotionally problematic for you, it is probably exactly the kind of speech that should be protected. I remember poor Adams and his Alien and Sedition Acts- a great blot on his term in office. It is too bad more people in America are not more educated about our past. It might help them see more clearly where we could go. Of course I might be giving people to much credit.

Hi Karen Since the main goal of Anarchists (as I understand it) seems to be the overthrow of government by violence (I thought violence was bad) and the subsequent instillation of a Communist regime.(it worked so well in Russia) It seems a little hollow to worry about dead Afghans while advocating the death of American children, does it not? I think a good case of treason could be made against such advocates. What these kids need is a good slap in the head, they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Should they have the right to express these ideas? Can you yell fire! in a crowded theater? Should you be able to advocate the violent overthrow of your Government during a time of war? Only in America, I guess. Greg
