South Africa: 73% population has no rights Phillipines, Turkey: Opposition leaders incommunicado in prison, or in exile. Soviet Union: Opposition on Funny Farms. Nicaragua (now), Israel: Mean and nasty armed Hecklers U.S: Mean and nasty (but unarmed) "Fritzbusters" Hey Guy! Heckling is in! Of course when your entire population is armed, so will be the hecklers. Don't you think the anti-abortionists who heckle Ferraro are considered by some (who probably read the National Review) to be the "divine mob"? Jordan
