<DIV><BR></DIV>I do not think that there are many people more supportive of
the first amendment than I am. There are however some restrictions. The most
used example is " don't shout fire in a crowded theater". The right to privacy
is also important. There are things that decent people just don't do. Making
charges of hypocrisy when one brings up an exception is lacking in good
sence .There are very few absolutes. Look at what is reasonable and use your
head.<BR>Roger<BR>-----Original message-----<BR>From: "Art Deco" <A

I agree that most people would agree that memorials are not a place for hate
speech. <BR>> <BR>> But Phelps, an American citizen protected by
our constitution, believes his message is true and very important. If we
restrict the public venue, as has been proposed, of where people are allowed
to present their views, then that is an attack on the 1st Amendment rights for
all of us to speak our views in such a forum.<BR>> <BR>> It is like the
4th Amendment: preserving individual rights sometimes comes at the cost of
freeing allegedly dangerous criminals. But such actions protect the
rights of all of us. You'd appreciate this more if you'd ever been the
object of an illegal search or detention. Preserving 1st amendment
rights comes at the cost of sometimes allowing views repugnant to the vast
majority.<BR>> <BR>> If you truly believe in freedom of expression, then
do so for everyone, and not try to deprive those of such freedoms with views
vehemently in conflict with your own beliefs/values -- such actions are
grossly hypocritical.<BR>> <BR>> w.<BR>> ----- Original

Falen<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I will say it again. President
Obamas's speech was excellent. He set just the right tone. A memorial
should be to honor the memory and life of those that have passed on. That is
why people like Phelps should not we with in sight or sound of the memorial.
He is free to protest or demonstrate, but somewhere else. Out of respect for
the families it should be confined to the memory of the families. That is what
President Obama did and I applaud him for it.<BR>>

Arizona: I have come here<BR>> > tonight as an American who,
like all Americans, kneels to pray with you<BR>> > today and
will stand by you tomorrow.<BR>> > <BR>> >

exercise their right to peaceful<BR>> > assembly and free
speech.<BR>> > <BR>> >
(APPLAUSE)<BR>> > <BR>> > They were

(APPLAUSE)<BR>> > <BR>> > Everything --

Daniel<BR>> > Hernandez...<BR>> >
<BR>> > (APPLAUSE)<BR>> >
<BR>> > .. a volunteer in Gabby's
office.<BR>> > <BR>> > And, Daniel, I'm
sorry, you may deny it, but we've decided you are a hero,<BR>>

alive.<BR>> > <BR>> >
(APPLAUSE)<BR>> > <BR>> > We are grateful

<BR>> > They're right over there.<BR>> >
<BR>> > (APPLAUSE)<BR>> >
<BR>> > We -- we are grateful for petite Patricia Maisch,

(APPLAUSE)<BR>> > <BR>> > .. of debating
