I love words- obviously- but when we turn them into Medusas, the mere sight of which can turn people to stone, we've lost the point of having independent thought. I don't have to respond any particular way to any particular word or thought or scene, because I have FREE WILL.<br /><br />But without equally Free Expression, what's the point?Clare2ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105229820107294986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-10919749971166362912010-09-28T07:00:00.687-06:002010-09-28T07:00:00.687-06:00LOL. dfBag Lady "beat eggs."
