As an advocate of zero censorship (for the simple premise that who has the right to censor others?] I am of course expressing a contrary view re all this. I guess I’m not advocating censorship for this misguided politician and have no logical alternative to come to terms with the fact that zero censorship must inevitable leave the door open for all views – however dim-witted. Ho hum. On the other hand, the last person who called me a Nazi face-to-face was as a consequence a visitor to A&E. I found this to be a thoroughly satisfying experience. Bit of a last resort though I have to say.
Sometimes rational argument really is insufficient! Sad - but true, in my experience anyway.
I guess if Buddhists had been leading our WWII government then I and people like me would have ended up either as lampshades or soap.
Hmm – seems like I’m feeling uncharacteristically passionate about something. Wonder how long it’ll last.
