"But what right do you have in denying people the choice?"

We deny people choices all the time in America. Rape is a choice. Murder and burglary are choices too. Kidnapping and torture are also choices.

We call these choices "crimes", and we try to prevent them.

"A proper response in a civilized society is to let your voice be heard, and make your point with reason and fact, not with a mob."

You should have told W and your friends that, before you decided to send your Viking raiding parties into Iraq to murder civilians, steal oil, and circulate more American tax dollars out of public coffers and into the private accounts of soldiers and the military-industrial complex.

How about those Weapons Of Mass Destruction? We always knew it was a bullshit excuse. The only chemical weapons Saddam ever used, were SUPPLIED BY RUMSFELD AND THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION, and used against Kurds who were BACKED BY IRAN in their attempt to START CIVIL WAR AND SECEED WITH OIL-RICH KIRKUK.

Please try to keep up with the rest of the class.

When people consider civilized choices, such as what grocery store to shop at, church to join, movie to see, or political party for which to register, then civilized dialog is appropriate.

But when murderers and thieves are trying to recruit more murderers and thieves on tax-funded publically-owned university property, civilized remedy is foregone. At that point, civilized discourse, like diplomacy, "is the art of saying 'nice doggy' until you find a big enough stick".
