As long as you're not enforcing it on anyone else (such as by being a
government agency), no problem.

So long as this isn't enforced on anyone who doesn't have a choice in
the matter (e.g., children), I fully agree, believe me. BTW, I don't
count employees as not having a 'choice in the matter' - they can
leave and choose another job.

I'm a Libertarian. I advocate both free speech/press and propery
rights, don't worry.
