[RP TownTalk] Right to Free Speech

[Jeffrey Yorke]

Mr. Holmes,

Your free speech is not in threat. Buy yourself a press and write away.
It's just that the we've all been worn out by the subject. Like the little
girl in the "Exorcist" many TownTalk readers are screaming, "Please, mommy,
make it stop!"

You are free to roam around the Internet uncovering, revealing atrocities
in government as you find them...

You might want to start at the corner Exxon station where I understand the
operator is allowing customers to sign credit cards with a Skilcraft pen,
stolen from a federal agency ...

Oy, such a headache from this ...
