 Dean Scott, Fr Ward, Dcn Schwarz et.al. O ,I think more than 12k postings
over all these years. The more the merrier. As some SC justice said "The
way to preserve free speech is to have more speech". Amen. No censorship.
Ever. For anyone. If you cannot take the heat get out of the kitchen as I
think Harry Truman said.                                                 
                                                                         
                                Some years ago I was (shall we say)
cautioned by someone (I suspect they may well have been put up to
it)because they did not like my political expressions. Although I was 
naturally well within my rights as a priest- and a taxpayer (I've pretty
much given up on voting except to vote NOE on all bond issues) I dropped
the subject but I have not forgotten nor have I abjured my rights to take
up the subject again should the need arise -which it may sooner rather
than later. I have fought for academic freedom all my life, will continue
to do so, and  if within this chamber (sic) we cannot say what we believe
and do so frankly then this list should be tossed into the dustbin of
history. Blessings. GDVW+
