'free Speech'

'Occupiers' closed Oakland port last night Don't they realize that ain't very bright Nuts and fruits are shipped from there So a caution should they care They could be shipped to get them outta sight (Just exercising my 'free speech' rights as well!)

LOL Hey, exporting is good for the economy, so why not, Bob? I know you sent this one to me earlier, but I enjoyed reading it again. Isn't it great to have the right to "free speech"? Love, Carolyn

Great example of Free Speech, that seems to get smaller and smaller every day! Too many arrests it seems from each rally! Do they deserve it or is it just brutality? Thanks for you great description and the reality of it all!! Superior work!!

Your exercise of free speech is glowing, Robert. Limericking the news, are we? My favorite sort of fun! There are so many resources being wasted while these nuts exercise their rights too. Gwendolen
