The Failed Pacifist

Summer of Discontent

If you haven't seen Kayne West's spontaneous plea, you should watch it, because it's not anything like the blustering bash that's being presented in the media. Instead there is a young man who is obviously scared, expressing what he believes.

At their first chance, NBC distanced themselves from this "one person's opinion."

The thing about freedom is it needs to be exercised. We can't talk about only in the abstract and expect it to really exist. Waving a flag while punishing legitimate political expressing is not supporting our country. Instead, it does us harm.

Tonight Keith Olberman issued a much more powerful indictment of the government. I'll be interested in what his employers have to say about this one.
