Does anyone ever wonder how the human race got to be so anally politically correct??? I DO!
I just read a short article about some newspaper in Nova Scotia publishing a political cartoon about the Harper Action Plan. The minister of defense said he was appalled and demanded an apology from the paper for publishing a swastika flag atop the peace tower.
Does anyone really care? Is anyone's life greatly changed by seeing this now? Does anyone lose sleep over this cartoon? Does it affect the economy? LET ME ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR YOU......N O!!!
The minister of defense should be worried about the economy, joyriding in military planes. He should be worried that the 1000s of Action Plan signs posted across the country were made in the USA, why the price of gas is rediculous and why voters and the popularity of his Prime Minister is at an ALL TIME LOW.
If he has nothing better to worry about than a damned cartoon, what does that tell us about the priorities of the current government????
Oh ya, one more thing, how dare he dictate what my freedoms allow me to do....speak up!
Enough Said......
Quote of the day....
“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.
If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.
I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.
To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.”
― Salman Rushdie
