have a right to her peculiar views and opinions?  Sure.  I don't personally
mind her having her own little soapbox somewhere -- I think she does a
better job of proving herself a fool than anyone else could.

Others probably wanted to shut her down so that they could option something

relationship issues.  Say someone without an antiquated, obscene, and
heavy-handed moral agenda.
