I am sure that when Ms. Otool walks into a local eatery now everyone will know who she is and keep there opinions to themselves or just get up and leave to avoid being on the next national or world news story.....

Very nicely said, sluggo. We all know what the man said was not nice, however, don't we have the right to say what we want to any more? I am very bothered by this fact that lately people do seem to have to be very careful of what they say- we don't have freedom of speech now I guess.
