sure it's free speech. walking by to the protest with the iPods in the ears is giving it a free speech free ride, ignoring the blowhard on every corner and stump in the country. more than any other factor, thinking it doesn't make a difference is why we're in this mess, why those idiot fascists think they can be president and are actually in a position to end up there, and why those blue dogs are not progressives.
