So you know this freedom of speech event here in CO?
My father is a printer, as in, the Gutenberg kind, with movable type and all. He's been at a few events around town printing and giving out "Vote Kerry" cards. He asked the people running this event if he could do so there, and they, the -Freedom of Expression I believe it's called- said that no, he was not allowed to mention politics at it. Why? "Because if you mention Salazar or Kerry, then people for Coors might come, and we don't want that."

Oh yeah, that's really pro-free-speech.
