I would disagree as with freedom comes great responsibility to exercise it with responsibility. There are things that are sacred. What about the family's rights? Do they not also have a right to privacy? The right of a family to grieve in peace trumps anyone's right to protest. There is a place and time for protest and shouting at the top of your lungs. A cemetery is not that place. It is a time to give respect to the dead and to the family who has just lost a loved one. Andrew Shepherd? Whose president was he? Not one of ours...

It's a tough test. Freedom ain't easy sometimes. As President Andrew Shepherd said so eloquently: America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. If we give in to our sensibilities, then we tarnish the very freedoms that those soldiers died to protect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:331672 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
