What I wrote was a right-wing comment, precisely because I, as do "these people", know enough about history to know how much freedom we still retain, and thus my/our alarm at how fast we are reverting to the bad old ways in the name of the "progressive" movement. But perhaps this thread has become purely political and should stop soon. I'm done with it. R.
