<I'd fight to the death for his right to wear it. Seriously. Literally. Death, although I'd much prefer it never came to that.> Whose death CB? Yours? I'm sure you'd come to some compromise if push came to shove and a noocular warhead was waved in your face. You haven't run up against many authorities if that sort of thing gets your head of steam up enough for a death match. I don't think I'd go for the death match over a relatively minor slight. I'll save my death for something a bit more significant. A violation of human rights is to keep somebody in a cage in Guantanamo Bay for two years with no public evidence that they have committed any unreasonable act. A grotesque violation of human rights is to conduct fatal experiments on enemy prisoners of war. A grotesque and horrendous violation of human rights is to force civilian Jewish men, women and children into concentration camps and gas chambers. Refusing to allow somebody to wear a cross-shaped piece of wood or a head scarf is hardly grotesque. Many larger insults to freedom are experienced every day in the allegedly free world. I agree with you that those in authority are, as usual, off the rails and demonstrating their megalomania in the most trivial things. Mqurice
