Fallout continues from interrupted
Sacramento speech
Irony of young crowd jeering talk
about saving civil liberties

Sacramento -- When Sacramento Bee publisher and
president Janis Besler Heaphy walked away from
the podium at Arco Arena recently, drowned by boos
and foot stomping,
she showed that a country built on free speech and
dissent continues to struggle with how to behave in
wartime.

Some students and parents said Heaphy simply
politicized their "special day, " but fallout from the
speech also is continued evidence of how
dramatically public discourse has changed since Sept.
11. Attorney General John Ashcroft made the
starkest comments to date when he warned that
people raising the "phantoms of lost liberties" were
aiding terrorists.

Now citizen, don't talk about losing your liberties either.....
Welcome to 1984!
Are you ready for the 3rd world war!
You too will meet the secret police,
They'll draft you and they'll jail your niece!
You'l go quietly to BOOT CAMP!
They'll kill you dead, make you a man!
Don't you worry, it's for a cause, fulfilling
global corporations claws!
California, uber alles, uber alles California!
(Jello Biafra)
