David's post mentions
several important issues. I would like simply to emphasize the one quoted above.
It might be in a diverse religious society--even one with an EC
proscription--that the commonly owned forum needs rules to decide how it should
be used. What I want to emphasize in David's post is that it seems clearly
antithetical to democracy and perhaps more importantly to public order to permit
or encourage unilateral action by one faction to commandeer the forum
to use for that faction's purposes alone no matter how large the faction. Those
who praise such action do so, I would think, because they agree with the content
of the commandeering faction's conduct. But what will they say when they
disapprove on conscientious grounds of the next faction to commandeer the
forum? Bobby
