The issue of global warming should be discussed on the basis of the facts available to us, not on the basis of political ideology. I support the right of the schoolteacher in Mount Dora, Maxine Waters, the KKK, the moon lander skeptics, etc to speak their minds without fear of reprisal from the 'politically correct' in the name of 'tolerance'. Free speech should be just that - free speech.
