    How did California ever manage to survive before we
    were enlightened and named an offical state dirt?
    How many man-hours were spent on writing and voting
    on this critical piece of legislation that answered
    the agonizing question of which dirt is our offical
    state dirt?
    How many state employees worked diligently at doing
    the research & compiling the results for our solons?
    How many different soils were considered for this
    coveted honor?
    What distinguished San Joaquin Soil so that it
    could lay claim to the noble designation as the
    official dirt of the great State of California?
    What of the soil from other parts of California --
    what made them inferior to the San Joaquin Soil?
    And the list goes on... etc., etc., etc. ...
Coming in 1999: our esteemed state solons will no doubt feel
compelled to designate an "Official State Smog." Which lucky
community will get the bragging rights to being the home of
the "Official Smog of the State of California"? Stay tuned...

Who owns the paper?
Where is it in the Constitution that says others are obligated to
provide a platform for an individual's speech?  If you can find it,
maybe I need to get in the faces of the owners of the Washington Post
and insist they abide by that and publish my stuff, or face legal
action - think I'll insist on the front page while I'm at it.  Heck,
maybe I'll go to the major networks too, and insist on my own segment
during their newscasts.  |-)
When an individual hires on to perform work for another, including
newspapers, he effectively enters into a contract to perform his duties
in accordance with his employer's wishes.  If he disagrees, he shouldn't
hire on to begin with, or should leave.  If he's a student, he abides by
the school rules he effectively agreed to follow when he enrolled, or
finds himself another school.
If that student wanted to write about Chelsea, he was free to do so and
publish himself.  The same goes for that other newspaper's staff.  In
neither case were First Amendment rights violated.
