in the name of freedom

     Too many young people--one would be too many--have a very strange concept of freedom--particularly freedom of expression, but the attitude covers more than one kind of "freedom". For example, some of these young people have learned that it is unacceptable to use government property for a religious display. So far, so good. But some have decided that this means that all religious displays are "bad", and that no one may put one on the front lawn. This is a new, and growing concept of "freedom" that we all need to notice when we see it. The new intolerance is clothed in robes of righteousness.
