bobbo, the pragmatic Libertarian says:

Here is a different slant on the TJ goings on:

The implication is that there was no “new law” but rather a court imposed restriction about memorials. A more liberal court evidently could have required dancing in celebration of our revered fathers?

FREEEEDOM is like that: other people doing what you would not do, what you don’t like. But was there a disturbance of the peace? Without a new law stating a “quiet contemplation” purpose of the TJ, I do not see a disturbance. Its not like rock climbing the Washington Memorial.

I hate idolatry and ceremony, enforced rectitude==give me the tumult of freedom==that too will make you think.

and ain’t that what is life’s highest achievement?
