     And the beat goes on.  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.
