I haven’t seen the “freedom of speech pen” in person, but from the news reports, it looks repellant. I understand the security concerns about the Convention &#8212 frankly, I’m literally losing sleep over the prospect of a large scale (= nuke it in suitcase) attack on Boston &#8212 but there has to be a better way of honoring the duty to dissent than to put citizens behind double fences topped by razor wire. Isn’t this country all about saying that freedom is worth the risk?
