I have no idea where you or from or what kind of education you have, but in the "free" world, you can't take someone to court for picketing or protesting or petitioning. It is built into the American system. We are bullies? I'd rather be a bully then someone who slanders others with references to those who chose to commit genocide. If you are American and you don't realize how free speech works, then I strongly urge you to find out. Then maybe you can speak about things in a more educated way, rather than coming off like a retarded gorilla. cheers and much hope in your quest to find free speech, Michael Bernstein bernstein.46@osu.edu On Tuesday, March 5, 2002, at 10:47 PM, Jeff V.
