Shocking....Even Zion has a Free Speech Zone. But what is Zion. Take a look.
In the spiritual, metaphorical sense, Zion is regarded by Latter Day Saints as a perfect social state of being of "pure in heart" (Moses 7:18) believers, where all people have all things in common, and there is no suffering nor impoverished among them because of an outpouring of love, unselfishness, and working for the good of the whole community of believers. It stands in opposing contrast to proverbial Babylon, where there is much suffering, poverty, selfishness and wickedness.
Suppression of dissension is selfishness.
Also
think about this If Cheney is this
In recent years the company has become the center of several controversies involving the 2003 Iraq War and the company's ties to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney retired from the company during the 2000 U.S. presidential election campaign with a severance package worth $34 million[8]. As of 2004, he had received $398,548 in deferred compensation from Halliburton while Vice President.[5] Cheney also retains unexercised stock options at Halliburton, which have been valued at nearly $8 million.[5]
And if NADER IS this
In 1970, General Motors paid an out-of-court settlement of $425,000 to settle an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed after it was revealed that GM hired private investigators in an attempt to expose any embarrassing details of his personal life, particularly his sex life. The investigation turned up nothing.
Ralph Nader has lived a frugal and simple life even though he is worth millions personally. He has never been married or had children. He has not owned a car since 1955, and has lived for decades in a boarding house.
According to the mandatory financial disclosure report that he filed with the Federal Election Commission in 2000, he then owned more than $3 million worth of stocks and mutual fund shares; his single largest holding was more than $1 million worth of stock in Cisco Systems, Inc. [6] The largest recipients of Nader's donations have included Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs) and other non-profit organizations

If we are to build Zion who should we look to as an example.

This was a awesome post. I filmed Nader today and actually ended up filming the Cheney commencement (and all of the surrounding protests) today. The best speaker at the alternative commencement was Jack Healy (former executive director of Amnesty International). I also spoke with him and he was really down to earth.
