Freedom of the press only means that the press is able to print whatever they want to without LEGAL repercussions. That is, the government cannot legally censor what is printed. There can be restrictions on what may be printed in certain venues. BUT, that is not to say that the same material restricted in one venue may not be printed in another. A good example is the nudie magazines. They cannot print that type of material in a family oriented publication, but in their own little smutty world, even Larry Flynt can publish whatever he wants. Freedom of speech is limited by the fact that you cannot yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. You do not have that right - unless there really is a fire. The economics of the whole thing is another story. If you are depending on advertising revenue from a company, it is not in the publisher's best interest to offend that advertiser.

And, that power was exercised in this case by the offended advertiser. There is no violation of the first amendment in this case. Cartoonist published, customer reacted, and employer reacted to that reaction. Simple exercise of the power of the wallet.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
