Yay New York.

I think it's fantastically funny that New York is going to show-up Boston by not enforcing a protesting ban (or designating a protesting zone) during the Republican convention. I could not get over our city's nerve to block protestors from the Fleet Center. Granted, in a "post 9-11 world," we have to be cautious. But at what point should being cautious infringe on our first ammendment right?

I mean, I don't mind sacrificing my right to privacy by having airport security look through my bags so much. But, come on, to block protestors during one of the biggest political events of the year? How is that NOT a point for terrorism?
