I am murderously offended by people who are murderously offended

Let the free speach war begin. Since there exists humans on this planet who will kill in order to keep other humans from expressing themselves in ways that they (the killers) deem to be "offensive", then let's smoke these tyrants out, and battle in public, by whatever weapons the tyrants choose. Let's see who "wants it" more, those of us who want freedom, or those who want tyrany. I call for more Muhammad cartoons. And while we're at it, surely more Jesus cartoons, since there are some (relitively) mild tyrants in the US who will boycott tv programs lampooning Jesus. Maybe this new battle front will finally convince Europeans to stand tough against tyrany. I think even Europeans will not permit people within or outside their borders to violently prevent cartoonists from making fun of religion.

Tom: Where do you stand on this pressing issue? If Monsanto forms death squads to ensure that nobody voice criticism of US agricultural subsidies (such advocacy will surely "offend" people who adocate that societies subsidize farmers), will you zip your lip, to avoid killings?

Six: I hope that this new war front leads US leftist and rightist to stop their own efforts (ableit mild, compared to arson and assassination) to stiffle expressions that they deem "offensive."

Maybe (I hope) residents of free nations will now see the folloy of making illegal (as some European nations have) to publish anti-semetic books, and books that deny the holocaust.
