Oh, and regarding that Supreme Court decision yesterday, which hateful people are hailing as a victory for their hate-inspired cause: I happen to agree with this painful decision, even while deploring the fact that it can be interpreted as a victory for despicable bigots.
On the other hand, I'm quite sure that God, if there were one, would, if he hated anyone, hate people who hate.

When I was the adviser to students who published the campus newspapers and poetry journals, I brought in a attorney every quarter for a lecture on the limits of the First Amendment. I always remember him saying, "The answer to free speech is more free speech." As much as I find those signs as abhorrent as any I've seen, they simply need to be answered loudly and forthrightly. We all must protect their right to say all the hateful things they want to say, but we must respond vigorously, as well.
