I have argued with you before, and I'm not going to go to the trouble to explain my position more clearly to you. It is sufficient to say that you are not articulating my position.

For the rest of you out there, so far as I'm concerned, if you are in the mass communications business, you *WILL* carry all traffic. You *WILL* serve every customer that sits at your lunch counter.

You can’t explain your position more because it is silly and fails to understand basic reality. You CANNOT force businesses to carry all traffic. It runs into ALL the problems I already pointed out. They CANNOT serve all customers. Even the lunch counter can refuse service.

Freedom of speech has ALWAYS ended at property. And it MUST continue to be that. You cannot force your message onto somebody’s wall, paper, stage, hard drive or T1 line. And that is a good thing. We all loved it when The Dixie Chick were losing record contracts and radio play. In your new “all traffic” world that wouldn’t happen. Your all traffic model is not only logistically impossible, it’s the tyranny of the minority. It’s just plain a bad idea no matter how you slice it.
