Well, mine was a somewhat rhetorical question, though not obviously so.
However, he (Tom, I apologize for addressing you in 3rd person this way, but
we're working with our interpretations of your post, rather than your

exercise their right to free expression should "LEAVE," so how would this be
different from me saying that anyone who wants to own a gun is free to do so
but is slime and should LEAVE the country?
