[ What's sad is, that wasn't referred to as such jokingly. That's real, and it was a government reporesentative who first said it. An FBI or Secret Service guy if i recall. They really actually do think that it's a-ok to cordon off the areas where you can dissent. It's pretty preposterous. In any situation where there isn't an obvious and direct risk to public safety, people should have the right to do their thing wherever they want. -k]
