I am a fervent advocate of free speech - as long as I have the choice of listening or walking away from it.

But....as in the case given by Kat concerning Matthew Shepards' service, that was an infringement on the rights of those attending as well as a major distraction. Sick is probably a more apt word.

I truely believe that that type of demostration should either be prohibited or allow it at a distance of no less than five thousand feet from the site of the demonstrators discontent.
