I don't think the practice of medicine is protected under the first

ammendment as a form of expression or speech. Defending the right to

say any words is very different than defending the right to take any

actions. The latter position is radical libertarianism and not at

all what Jefferson was saying here. He merely defended thought and

expression. The government of all states has long recognized a

legtimitate compelling interest to regulate medical practice.

Ken,

If I didn't know better, I would think there were two different Kens

with the name yulong@m... Isn't that funny? Did you accidently

attach this quote? I don't see the connection between this quote and

you

feelings on pulling licenses from broad minded acupuncturists. Maybe

you can

help me here.

Blessings,

Joan
