- China. Remember those fun-loving folks from the Olympics? Remember the magic they wrought amidst the Bird's Nest and on the 10-meter platform? Remember that wonderful illusion of freedom on display for all the world to see? In the middle of Barack Obama's inauguration, when he got to the part, "Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions," the communists strategically broke away to one of their ministers of thought to put their spin on what he was really saying (here).
Censorship remains alive and well. 
Cowardice. Remember Theo van Gogh, the Dutch film maker murdered on the streets of Amsterdam for his cinematic critique of Islam? Rather than begin to root out and exterminate the cockroaches that perpetrated such inhumanity, the Dutch went one better. They bowed to the butchers and kissed their boots. It became hate speech to speak against Islam. Seems ol' Theo got his comeuppance in the minds of his countryfolk.
Well, the Queen of Heart's jurisprudence continues in the Netherlands. Geert Wilders, a member of Dutch Parliament and also a filmmaker, won't have to worry about getting his noggin schwacked for making a film about the War on Terror. Why's that, you ask? Because he's been indicted for inciting religious hatred against Islam with his film (read the insanity here). Perhaps local constables should arrest the jewelers for whipping the kleptomaniacs into an uncontrollable frenzy.
Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
Isaiah 59:14-15
