These were given out by my daughter's French teacher at the high school today. I think this was so cool! Free speech is alive and well in my town. Astonishing considering I live in CT!

    I think I see that NMA was able to include an emoticon, but I think that was merely an icon from a font family.

    I think they were vile, despicable, hate mongers. That said, I have no problem with them being such and publishing their vile, hateful rag. Just as I had no problem with the juvenile who pissed in a bottle and placed a crucifix upside down in it and called it "art." These are individuals who cannot convey their ideas in a manner that can survive even the softest scrutiny, so they resort to inflammatory expression.

    I'm sure Rand would approve. I recall her essays on pornography. She despised it, but despised censorship even more.

    It was either the nano-turbulators or fuzzy dice to hang over the console. I thought the fuzzy dice might clash with the little dog with a bouncy head.

    The little dog reminds me of K9 and I get misty eyed :(

    I have no problem with Je suis Charlie, in fact I applaud much of what they've published. I do have a problem with both the French, US and other 'Western Democracies" pretending to protect free speech when in fact they only protect what they approve of, rather than all speech.
    Now obviously such acts as shouting fire in a crowded theater must be forbidden, but lest we forget the same government that sponsored the "Free Speech" march last Sunday closed down 'Charlie' during the Mitterrand reign of demagoguery for criticizing Charles de Gaul shortly after his death.

    Take a look at an election map by county or finer granularity. With one exception, it is almost perfectly correlated to progressives dominating the urban centers and libertarians dominating the rural areas (I use the political philosophy terms instead of party, even though the party affiliation is what is shown on the maps).

    But they were recently made obsolete by the magneto-reduction turbulators. Twice the performance at half the cost.

    Beautiful. I am glad that you invested in the redundant nano-turbulators.

    Always! And to be sure that nobody can steal it I've disconnected one of the tertiary rheostats on the down-regulation capacitance banks that charge the primary gimbal-mounted timedrive.

    Even a first year time mechanic can tell you that will cause a highly stable standing wave form in the entire array of resonance chambers, even the upgraded ones with redundant nano-turbulators. As long as you're stuck with that standing wave there's no access to the time vortex.

    Now, if a crafty Timelord got chatty with the right engineers on Logopolis he might have learned that relocating the entire tertiary rheostat assembly to the inside of the n-dimensional projector that maps the interior of the Tardis onto 3-dimensional space would cause the self-diagnostic to fail WITHOUT an error code - why then his little bit of sabotage would be undetectable! (And by the Rod of Rasselon don't forget to beef up the shielding!)

    There are still some of us folks in the Nutmeg State who believe in the Constitution (out other nickname). It's simply that we've been overwhelmed by the moochers in the inner Cities!
