    You're a hero, Amanda

    And timid old Joan and Salon and her backstabbing editors are dead wrong.

    You're a pampleteer. They're the kind of people who sat on their hands when Paine went to jail. I'm sure they grabbed their hankies during the Boston Massacre, and got all scared and accomodationist when Washington retreated from New York.
