Oh, I get it. So now you are grasping for an excuse
for your posts. I see how it is.

Is this your prediction that _real_ free speech will be
replaced by "free speech for the working class" (i.e.
censorship, as practiced in Singapore and China, as

So this excuses your nostalgia for the late
Seventies lowering of the high-tax Jimmy
Carter hyperinflation, hyperunemployment,
hyperinterest-rate boom?

Why don't you just listen to some Village
People to get your pre-Reagan Revolution

We can't even send them to psychiatric hospitals, until
they threaten to get stalinist on someone's ass.

But I thought you were hoping to replace that with "free
speech for the working class."
