Freedom of speech is one of the major triumphs of the modern world. It is what separates us from the savages who force what they want. This letter was simpy so wrong. My reply to the National Post:
Kamal Sethi comments in a most Authoritarian tone in the letters to the editor this morning:"Freedom of speech has it's limits. Period."
I comment, in my Libertarian tone:"Sigh": unfortunately the authoritarians have succeeded in making this partly true.
Salman Rushdie; someone who understands too well what that "Period" implies from others of like mind, was quoted in an eloquent tone:"Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself."
A large period after Salman's quote is implied.
