<DIV>BL,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sorry that the diversity of views expressed on this list has upset
you. Freedom of speech was not meant to protect popular speech that the
majority find palatable. The first amendment was intended
specifically to protect UNPOPULAR speech. While, as Sunil has cogently
pointed out, you certainly have the right to consider only those views with
which you agree, I believe that your intellectual growth would be better
served if you attempted to understand the views and concerns of those with whom
you disagree.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our diversity is our strength, BL, don't fall for the temptation to shun
those who are different from you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Relying on your fair -- mindedness,
---Tony</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
