[Vision2020] Is This Free Speech or . . . ?

[Tom Hansen]

I agree with you totally, Sunil.

In the words of Voltaire, "I may not agree with what you say but I'll 
fight to the death to defend your right to say it."

This is not to say that the Secret Service will not be maintaining steady 
surveillance on Mr. Germana for a while, especially the next time Mr. 
Germana goes to the neighborhood hardware store to purchase rope (for any 
legitimate reason).
