Vis-a-Vis Salman Rushdie: As George Orwell (Eric Blair) Once Put It (So Simply & Succinctly) - & As I Myself Quoted (Him As Saying) Not All That Long Ago: "Free Speech Means Having the Right to Tell You What You Don't Want to Hear."

Nuff Said. End of story.

*R.I.P. Western freedoms of expression...Long live Salman Rushdie & Co.

*Not suggesting I agree with such a sentiment, but sadly that's where the West is rapidly heading...
