Censorship

Ahh, the slippery slope of censorship. How fresh and clean is the fragrance of the morning dew on the grass. And then BAM you find your ass lying on the ground.

I left a comment on somebody’s blog this morning. I’m not going to name names. This person knows who he or she is. And I doubt very much s/he reads this blog because of its vile content.

Anyway, this person had written a post in support of the troops. I find such a thing quite admirable. Especially in times like these when so many Americans are at odds over the reasons for deployment, it’s important that the troops know that we are all behind them.

And I told this person, the blogger, something like, you have such a good heart. And I continued, quite frankly and honestly, that if the President cared as much for the troops as the blogger did, the troops would all be home by now.

I think it’s the truth. Apparently this blogger doesn’t. And that’s fine. But my comment — it’s gone now.

There are issues too numerous to count where we don’t all agree. But is disagreement enough to censor comments on one’s blog? Maybe it is for some, but that will never happen here.
