Chris:

	I agree the picture of them in their wet t shirts was something.
Thanks for posting it.

Stan,

I've been keeping my head down but I've got to relate an incident that
occurred here in Medford a few days ago.  The President visited and there
was a large turnout at the fairgrounds.  Three of my fellow teachers, ladies
all (in all ways) went to the speech with their tickets and were admitted.
(the loyalty oath had been signed by another person and the tickets were
given to these teachers) (I suspect Ashcroft is instituting an investigation
as we speak).  Then the threat was detected by the "security" provided by
the republican party and the teachers were threatened with arrest for
wearing an (and I quote from first hand sources) an obscene slogan on the
t-shirts.  More security guards and secrete service were called and the
teachers were " emphatically" escorted out:  they were told they would be
arrested if they tried to enter the "private affair"again.  The obscene
slogan on their t-shirt?

"Protect our Civil Rights"  and nothing more.
