Freedom of Speech?

Two interesting freedom of speech stories in the news today. First, we the tax payers get to pay for a man to spend a year in prison for making what was called "threats" against Queen Christine. Obviously the intent was to threaten though whether his statements were actually threats is up to the appeals courts.

In another interesting story, the idiot Koran burning priest was arrested for the possibility his upcoming rally would "breach the peace". I dont want to defend this guy but this arrest is absurd. I dont think we should be arresting a person for what other people might do if he held a protest. Shame on this judge for thrusting this guy back in the media spotlight.

Think on this Easter saying :: "You can put truth in a grave but it wont stay there"

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
