It's somewhat interesting to see how you Yanks really believe in 'freedom of speech'. All it takes is a normally meaningless threat, and you all cower and the thought of standing up for what you SAY you believe. But what you say is only because you ordained yourselves in the freedom to say it, as long as you have the freedom to not pay attention to what you say, or what you believe about what you say.
Situation normal!
Political blow-hards, screwing up the planet!
