Free Speech at the Tracy Gee
Last November, a friend suggested I join a weekly Current Events discussion group at the Tracy Gee Community Center. She described a group of well informed, extremely intelligent people who had valuable insights on issues. She described most people in the group as liberal, with one outspoken Republican but she assured me there was a wide variety of viewpoints. She turned out to be right. I loved participating in the group from the very first meeting I attended. Unfortunately, my work schedule this summer prevented me from attending and I'm looking forward to rejoining the group tomorrow.
Last week emails started to fly. Something had happened, but it wasn't clear what. I knew that the group had voted to devote a meeting to research Karen had done surrounding the anomalies of 9/11 and that the session had been well received. Not everyone bought into the the theories she presented, but we had never all agreed on anything so that didn't seem unusual. Apparently someone was unhappy with the meeting. So much so that it turned into fodder for today's Rick Casey column in the Houston Chronicle.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's meeting and, as usual, I will exercise my right to free speech.

It gladdens my heart to learn that Steve Radack has come down on the side of the Constitution. I was beginning to think that all Repugs view that venerable document as an old disposable piece of parchment on which the ink has turned brown and ugly, and the ideas have become quaint and arguable for the ruling party. I wonder in how many other places people like Ms. Patterson have bluffed everybody else into thinking that mere pussyfooting around is a substitute for intelligent discussion.
