ne *Anyone* talks about US Constitutional free speech without knowing
ne that the First Amendment is *only* a guarantee against abridgement by
ne the government itself, is a moron.

I don't care about free speech as much as about freedom of assembly
and freedom to circulate. For instance in China another big bunch of
folk have recently been killed by the army in a public gathering. This
is doubly worrisome when Air Marshals here start to get trigger happy
and kill innocent people for no apparent *good* reason other then some
perceived abnormal behaviour. Many people tend to behave *abnormally*
in my opinion. This is a recipe for disaster and people should start
reconsidering the marshals' abnormal behaviour real soon!
