I was 3 city blocks when the first tower fell. I was a LOT farther away
when
the second one fell. I will be damned if I ask anyone else to retreat
even
one step further. The name should stand, just so that when the ignorant
claim
bad taste we can explain that "It's not bad taste, it's Free Speech, and
refusal to give in to animals who would destroy rather than build.'
Sorry if this sounds belligerent, that tone really isn't intended. But I
think it will be a while before I'm up to using a smiley.
