- it amazes me that the group who were protesting the KKK's right to free speech
- don't realize that they were only able to protest under that same right.

-
- if i remember correctly (which is unlikely :)), there was a KKK march out
- my way in a little out of the way neighborhood. why they wanted to march there
- is beyond me. anyway, people wanted the town to stop them, but of course the
- town couldn't legally do that. so the upshot was that a few people yelled
- nasty things to the marchers, but for the most part, no one showed up.
-
- worked really well, what good is a march if no one watches.
- i mean, how obvious can you get?
-
- *another* reason to let them excersize their constitutional rights.....that
- way you know what these groups are about, what they're going for, and you just
- may be able to use *them* to arm yourself (intellectually) and your children
- against their kind of bull.
