Strong Arm of Rocker Offset by the Weak Spot in His Head

John Rocker’s intemperate comments indicate both what is best and worst about life in the United States. The worst? Proof that there are more John Rockers of whom we aren’t yet aware. The best? Validation of 1st Amendment freedom as noted by President Woodrow Wilson: “I have always been among those who believe that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.â€
