I'm not going to back away from expressing my disagreement
I am not known for backing down, either. If the prez wants to quell free speech because he does not agree with it, I figure it's good enough for me, har har.
but at the same time, I'm not trying to beat you up, either.
I could go along with this (beating me up) IF it involves nekkid mud-slinging or a pool filled with any colored jello.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
