- >Gee, I'm glad >someone< agrees with me on this issue.
-
- take heart, ellen. a lot of people agree w/you. as much as i abhor the rhetoric
- of orgs. like KKK, for me to have the right to speak against them, they must
- retain their rights of free speech also.
-
- the people who espouse fighting the KKK by denying them their rights, and even
- more, by violent means, are doing so from a purely emotional base. we must
- always be wary of "acting out" our beliefs instead of acting on points of
- reason.
-
- i am afraid *of* groups like the KKK. they are conveniently ignorant, violent
- and psychopathic group. i am disgusted by them.
-
- i'm afraid *for* groups that fight to deny others their right of free speech,
- because if they ever get their way (very doubtful), they will find themselves
- living in a world they thought they were fighting against.
-
- HAVE A HAPPY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON, ELLEN!
