Your July 27 issue carried a story about Mayor Rocky Anderson's new anti-free-speech ordinance. I find it ironic in the extreme that Rocky, who spent years defending the right of protesters to shout senseless insults, now denies others the right to protest killing laboratory animals. And I find it odd that the Morning News takes no issue with these two contradictory mayoral positions.
