I would also have had the individual sporting the oscene sign or clothing
removed had they not corrected the problem.  A close friend, and Bush
supporter, sent me a hat with the logo, "F*CK BUSH" of course the * had the
correct vowel.  It is humorous but I would never dream of wearing it in public.

Fair enough.

 BS>Anyway, no Tim, the T-Shirts did not have profanity on them.

Perhaps it's a case of the classic, what walks like a duck, sounds like a duck
and acts like a duck gerally IS a duck?

 TR> *Nor* am I a democrat-liberal.

I did get that impression.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed.

They did protest Tim, to the point of being arrested.  Would you have them keep
protesting until they were beaten with a billy club?  Threatened with a
revolver?  At what point does their resistence cross the line of having
convictions and enter the land of gross stupidity?
