As I have stated time and again, there is a number of people in this country who have absolutely no regard for the rights of others. They are out to repress Christian, Jew, Moslem, Black, and White alike. Here's one more instance of their handiwork. On page 20 of today's Boston Globe (23 October), there's an article about the arrest of 7 persons outside the Soviet embassy in Washington. Their crime was conducting a demonstration within 500 feet of an embassy. The people were members of Action for Soviet Jewry and Union of Councils for Soviet Jews, and they were protesting the treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union. Here's a case of somebody in our elected government determining that somebody else "does not have the right to speak." Does Freedom of Speech cease to exist 500 feet from the Soviet embassy? Where does it say that in the Constitution? Strange how the same demonstration can be legal at the 500 ft. 1 in. mark, but a crime at 499 ft. 11 in., a distance of 2 inches. (Isn't it also strange that demonstrations are permitted in front of the South African embassy, that of a NON-Communist government?) I suggest to the net that if we, Americans and Canadians alike, intend to retain our sacred freedom, we had best start speaking out against such violations of civil rights. Otherwise, we'll all end up kissing ruddy Red butt. --Don Black "...dec-vax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-pundit!black" VAXmail: PUNDIT::BLACK ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "...the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that dis- regards the Eternal Order of Rules and Right, which Heaven itself has ordained." --George Washington, First Inaugural Address, 1789 ================================================================================ (Hey, who's got enough socks to mail a copy of THIS ONE to DEC management?
