Just say the word men, and I'm back out on the street with my zippo. After all, if I aint flickin, I must be chicken!

Got to run the oppressive cartoonists out of business.

Sigh, I may be about to break my nose with my own mouth (wouldn't be the first time) but.... I believe that freedom of speech/press bears with it certain ineluctable responsibilities as WELL as inalienable rights. In other words, 'YOUR' right to see what you want HAS to be balanced by 'MY' right to not be confronted or insulted. Society is a TWO-way process, something many Westerners seem to forget on a daily basis.

"And buildings burn 'cause some Danish prat
Drew a picture of the Prophet with a bomb fer a hat"

If only we could incite Westerners to burn down the head offices of Fox, THEN we'd be heading in the right direction.
