  - There is no punishment. There just isn't cooperation. The first amendment doesn't guaranty cooperation. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 12:00 3

      - The first amendment doesn't guaranty that you can express your opinion without opposition either. - pmb Nov 3, 12:05
      - They are answering critics from the Press Room, through the Press Secretary. That's kind of his job. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 12:03
  - You aren't reading what I'm writing, you're reading what you *expect* me to have written. - TWuG Nov 3, 11:52 3
