20. free to say it...yes. Entitled to be PAID $$ FOR IT BY YOU....NOPE!
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 05:19 PM by leftyandproud
Imagine if he were a radical right-wing neocon preaching death to all muslims/gays, etc...saying that AIDS is a good thing because it is wiping out blacks and homosexuals...that "natural selection" is taking it's course and the strongest are surviving when the USA bombs other countries...

Does he have "freedom of speech"...YES! He is free to speak his mind on the street, in any public place, or in any private journal/newspaper that publishes his work.

But would YOU feel good PAYING him to say/write crap like that? Knowing that he has a captive audience of YOUR kids to spew these things at?

I sure wouldn't.
