This is what the slow creep of tyranny looks like in Canada, how long before it comes to the US? Curious notion of free speech where I can be charged with a crime for offending someone - when you get right down to it, isn't the whole point of free speech to offend someone or something? Wasn't the King offended by the rabble? If the free market capitalist ridicules the marxist, isn't he in essence offending him, offending his beliefs and the way of life he espouses? So I take it in Canada, if their laws avow any coherent sense of logic, the aggrieved marxist, if he cries foul loud enough and whinges whelp-like with sufficient histrionics, can have the capitalist arrested? How many more Obamas will it take before America suffers the same fate?
[yes, yes, freedoms cannot be absolute otherwise they lose all practical meaning and become self defeating - I reluctantly accept my neighbour's right to addle what's left of his enfeebled mind by listening to hip hop music and hopefully he in turn accepts my right to call the police when he abuses his liberties and blasts the insufferable noise at full volume in the wee hours - but free speech is different: when you control speech, you control ideas, you control what people are allowed to think and then what they're allowed to debate - that's a far different slippery slope than the one that tries to contain just how atrociously fucking moronic my neighbour is allowed to become before the flashing lights get to make an appearance]
