Wow, just wow. While I sincerely admire the force of your convictions, I must respectfully disagree from some of your conclusions.



While on its face, it seems we liberals would be striking a real blow for tolerance and diversity of opinion, i feel that unilaterally using our purchasing power to influence the marketplace of ideas of exactly the kind of totalitarian behavior that the rethuglicans engage in and that we rightfully criticize them for.



A much more democratic way would be to lobby our elected representatives to pass a bill authorizing private corporations to bid on contracts to re-build this historic monument to free speech. After all, it's not really for us to make these kinds of decisions on our own instead of following the established political channels which, after all, are what ensure the freedoms of speech that we all take for granted.
