I wonder if RuPaul is free to be a flight attendant on that flight? Does anyone have that agent's number??

I think her fifteen minutes were up over a decade ago, sadly.

As much as I dislike everything the WBC say, do, and stand for, if we don't extend to them the full protection of the law, free speech is an illusion.

That's why we want em to go someplace else that has different laws.

Free speech is not unlimited.

It has been restricted a number of times legally, including Westboro having to maintain a distance away from their protests.

Up here, it's not even an illusion. Well, if you're born into it, you might buy the endless assurances that it's real, I guess. I have only rarely encountered anyone that even knows what freedom of speech is, let alone cares about it. Our citizens are, as a rule, willing to live with any curtailment of any freedom, except the freedom to watch TV shows, drive cars, eat unhealthy food and get wasted on the weekends.

So, lean back, relax, and let somewhere else carry the cross for a mile or two.

Health,
al-Aswad.

I agree, free speech need to apply to everyone to have value. I think WBC should be allowed to say and write whatever they like. However I also think that standing outside a funeral is harassment and should not be tolerated. Let them write what they want, stand along the road with their signs, write books do whatever they like, but they may not harass grieving families.

I wish you well
