Don't be foolish. <br />Of course you are entitled to your opinion. <br />Aren't we living in a society, <br />That welcomes free speech? <br /> <br />'Yes... <br />But it seems to me that...' <br /> <br />Next! ? <br /> <br />'I thought you said we live in a society, <br />That welcomes free speech? ' <br /> <br />On paper. <br />Not in reality. <br />I've 'earned' my free speech. <br />Haven't you noticed how I select my words? <br />Only 'then' are you free to do so as well. <br /> <br />Next? <br />I will take two more opinions, <br />And that will be it! <br />No... <br />Not yours. <br />The good looking one, <br />From the state of Connecticut! <br />May I have your opinion, please?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
