so are you saying there should be free speech zones?

“free speech zones” automatically create no speech zones in direct and blatent conflict with the constitution.

Nope. I wildly disagree with "Free Speech Zones". I think all of America is a Free Speech Zone. I mostly expect people to practice self-control and not behave like a wild j@ck@$$ in public. People do that for the most part but sometimes they go to far. Sometimes they are so frustrated that they hi-jack the meeting in an attempt to make it all about them and their concerns. This strikes me as both rude and selfish. If you want to ask questions at the meeting - fine. If you want to yell, or wave objects, or behave in a fashion that most reasonable people would consider disruptive do it outside so that eveyrbody walking in can see you. In fact - do both! Wave your banners and yell outside while people are arriving and then go in and ask questions.

cripplecreek thinks this makes me a subject of the dark powers of O. I think it means I haven't forgotten the minimal levels of courtesy that the good nuns were able to beat into my thick skull as a small child.
