I agree Army. It's easy to 'fall in line' and support public bans - as long as it's the other guy's rights that you're banning. But, when it's YOUR right that's being banned, we change our mind in a hurry. It's a slippery slope when you start to take away basic rights of free expression. Our leaders need to walk carefully as they approach any ordinances that control public activities.
