After watching a couple interviews she did yesterday, I have to believe that reasonable people will not be making a hero out of her.<br /><br />I have the right to make fun of your mother.<br />If I insult your mother, you will probably punch me.<br />When you punch me, you have committed a crime.<br />But no one will really be surprised that you punched me.

Zadig manages to bring them together by convincing them to focus on their similarities, which are of larger scale, rather than their differences, which are relatively minute. Now I think he should have just said, "You're all acting like assholes."<br /><br />And as we all know Voltaire's the one who's cited as saying, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Except that was written by Beatrice Evelyn Hall. What Voltaire did say was, "The supposed right of intolerance is absurd and barbaric. It is the right of the tiger; nay, it is far worse, for tigers do but tear in order to have food, while we rend each other for paragraphs."Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320886074658710855noreply@blogger.com
