unauthorized use of a sound device ?????

New York City, host town to the beloved QD, proved yet again what a conservative and provincial little burg it has become by shutting down the anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan when she attempted to speak to supporters at Union Square... the fuzz said that she didn't have the proper permits.

Permit QD a moment to reflect: Sheeehan, who wished to speak out against a war that the US went into under false pretences without proper justification, is denied the right to exercise her 1st ammendment right because she didn't have the proper authority to use a microphone????

QD is laughing and crying simultaneously as she gathers her belongings into a leetle bag in preparation to flee NY for some more sophicticated city like say, Muscatine, IA or Frederick, MD or Tenents Harbor, MA ...
