Charlie Hebdo

About the Charlie Hebdo Massacre.  I cannot believe folks actually went to kill cartoonists.  They did.

Now, when I see insulting, demeaning, vile "comedians" attacking women (most seem to think that's a surefire way to get laughs), I either change the channel or leave.  I won't listen to that radio show, nor buy that publication.

I will not go out to kill the person.

Please recall the furor over the "Piss Christ" art, or what happened to "The Dixie Chicks" after the comments about George Bush.  How about what happened to Bill Maher?

We may have defended their freedom of speech   ---   but careers were ruined.

Perhaps that's why the (alleged) "Catholic Loon" Bill Donahue said the terrorists were "provoked"  --  he may want an excuse for possible violence on the part of some of his followers.

How about all the "right to life" folks who support the killing of "abortion Doctors"  --  aren't they also terrorists?

Isn't it time to stop giving ALL terrorists any sort of excuse?  Isn't it time to stop ALL religions from affecting public policy, public health issues, judicial decisions?

We are not ancient goat herders  --  even though too many of us act as if we are.
