I think that's for the public to decide, but it clearly falls within "free speech."Stan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431525171296921684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-91128313302115749992014-06-19T00:15:07.750+12:002014-06-19T00:15:07.750+12:00And just whom shall be entrusted with determining ...And just whom shall be entrusted with determining the truth?
