Dear Declan,

Thank GOD for Politech, and for the Politech free thinkers that read 
Politech.  Many of your readers that emailed responses (and there were a 
very large number of them) DO NOT share my views on abortion, and don't 
particularly like my means of communicating my opinions about abortion, 
i.e. the graphic pictures of aborted babies.  But ALL of them know what is 
at stake here, and have the intellectual capability to prioritize the 
issues at hand as to the issue of immediate importance.  They all were VERY 
SUPPORTIVE and offered very positive advice as how to defend my rights to 
speak within domain names.  Many also offered their opinion as to whether 
to go to Jail over this issue, and offered other means to legally defend 
these rights without going to jail.  Many also answered the several 
questions I had about what Federal prison will be like.  Declan, I think 
you'd be surprised at how many of your faithful readers have jail-time 
experience - ha!

To all of you Politech readers that responded to my plight I say a great 
big, "THANK YOU."   I have pretty much decided that I will GO TO JAIL 
before I will "purge" my registration and use of the domain name 
www.TheWasingtonPostJESUS.com. It absolutely makes no sense to me that I am 
allowed to have or speak www.TheWashingtonPostSUCKS.com and 
www.TheWashingtonPostSATAN.com but I am not allowed to have or speak 
www.TheWashingtonPostJESUS.com.  I don't know if the well-known Jesus 
people or the celebrity Christian preachers will come to my defense or not, 
but what the heck, I have the Politech people coming to my defense!   I 
figure I have the best possible defense, the prayers from fellow Christians 
working for justice from above, and power of intellect and academic 
persuasion from the Politech intellectuals here on earth.  Thanks again 
Declan to you, and to all your wonderful readers.  "Thank God for Politech, 
and for the Politech FREE thinkers."

Yours, Bill Purdy

P.S.  USA TODAY thinks it's an important 
issue:  http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-01-24-domain-jail_x.htm
