"Ramblings" update

Fran offered another example of her zeal to suppress. This one is especially funny.

Fran and company wonder how vets can warrant arrest for disrupting a veterans' ceremony. I supplied the answer with an explanation rooted in legal precedent.



But by the next day the information was gone. Can't have people knowing what the law says about it, can we?




The last post (as of this moment) by "Spadoman" allowed this to tumble from both sides of his mouth:
It is wrong to disallow a faction, especially Veterans on Veterans Day, because they carry a message different than the organizers intended. On the other hand, what did the organizers intend? I believe the Veterans for Peace also have the right to organize a parade. Getting permits would be the problem.


Maybe they're close to figuring it out on their own, now (assuming they're not pretending to have it figured out based on what I already told them!

Let's say they organize a World Peace parade and one of the factions in favor of World Peace wants peace via military jihad? And they stand in front of the podium while the event organizers are trying to do their thing?

Of course my favorite part is host Fran asking "No dissent allowed?" right before she quashes ... well, not dissent exactly. She just quashes the voice she doesn't want to hear, apparently irrespective of content.
