If this is incorrect please advise. The Bill of Rights supports free speech. Political disagreement is one thing, but slander (making remarks about someone's mental competence) is something else. People who lack manners are likewise protected by the Constitution, but this List should not tolerate such behavior. I think that this thread needs to be terminated. Criticize the president's position all you want (I criticize some of them, also), but don't "call him names". Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M.
