OMG!
SF Weekly's Matt Smith doesn't much care for the government bureaucracy, and complains about the Human Rights Commission of San Francisco and their efforts at censorship in the case of a bar over:
[Bar dude Norman Hobday is] at the vortex of a minor tempest among left-wing activists inspired by a box of teeth displayed in a case behind Hobday's barstool. According to a note in the display, the teeth belonged to Col. George Custer's "squaw." The renowned Seventh Cavalry Indian fighter knocked them "out of her mouth in a jealous pique by the 'General' for slipping into the tent of the handsome Lt. James Sturgis on a frosty 'Kansas morn,'" the note said.
While there's a lot of concern over censorship in the government stepping in on the issue, one has to wonder about this more basic question:
What human right was violated? And who had their human rights violated? This is a display of the teeth of some dead woman that were knocked out by some dead man a bunch of years ago.
