   You were talking about removing speech/print that you disagree with,   
   which is a violation of the First Amendment.   
   Amazing that you, who claim to be educated, think that going to the   
   library is a "Waste of Time". You MUST be the parent of one of the   
   children that I teach.

   Yes, he should be. Just as those who print nasty, horrible things about   
   Jews and Blacks and Catholics are allowed to keep THEIR websites.
