CAUTION Ahead! Boring Rhetoric Crossing ;-)
Last week I watched the movie
PAPERCLIPS (movie documentary of a years long Student Holocaust Project --
promoting Tolerance). A powerfully presented message made EVEN MORE thought provoking because I'd just finished reading
INFIDEL -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali's memoir of growing up Muslim in the modern era (and ultimately seeking REFUGE from the oppression).
Both advocate tolerance...while simultaneously cautioning against becoming enslaved to sheep-over-the-cliff political correctness.
For me, Analyzing these two works (Hitler Era vs. 'Modern' Era Fundamentalism) back-to-back ... alongside this local Blithe Spirit controversy ... has proven to be a Worthwhile
Educational & Thought Provoking Comparison to say the least.
What choice...what slant...what perspective?
To Fight
FOR something?
To Fight
AGAINST something?
Fight or FLight?
The RIGHT to FREEDOM of SPEECH (for all perspectives) maybe the only thing worth "fighting" FOR.
Thoughts...Discussion...Feedback...Anyone?
Of course one first requires
the FREEDOM and ACCESS to read, see, hear, think, question, compare, evaluate & experience
a wide range of matter in order to express thoughtfully, eh?
