i don't remember who said this, some famous person (identify if you know, and can give the exact quote) but it went something like this..."i'll disagree with your opinion until death, but i'll also defend your right to have it until death." no, i don't mourn his passing, he may have deserved more, but this is the land of the free. i am not a racist, i don't even believe in the concept of "race", but based on constitutional rights he did what was legal and even encouraged in this country. we need less intolerance, and we need fewer people like Richard Butler, but just because he was wrong doesn't mean he didn't have a right to be.
