More on the witch hunt

[drais]

I guess we just have a different view of "Freedom of Speech" I don't think
that means you can say or do whatever the heck you want, and if that
capitulates others to shoot up thier school, well that's okay. I don't
recall even in this essay the writer saying the Senators or William Bennett
or anyone said to him "Different equals ungood." That's just someone's
interpretation. I think the real point here is "Killing folks in High school
Bad." And sorry, I don't see where this will lead to the FBI breaking into
my home and saying to me"You're under arrest for being different." Is this
what you are implying is going to happen?  Maybe some folks out there can't
live without sites for how make a nuke, or the KKK site. I for one, wish
them good riddance.

Just my different opinion.
