It is sad to see, for France has such a heritage, but it seems there is diminishing actual functioning Free Speech rights in France; when scores of people are getting arrested and thrown into jail for unpopular free speech, which in France has now become the new Orwellian thought crime of “supporting terrorism”.
Either Free Speech applies to all; or it does not apply. If unpopular – and even repugnant -- free speech is punished with long jail terms; then the state sanctioned mechanisms are in place for destroying effective right of free speech, which soon becomes free only when it reflects the desire of those who rule. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
