I saw the same story earlier and it is really good news. It is good news that the Danish press is willing to stand up and and be counted when their - and, extension, our - freedom of speech is threatened. What these toonaphobes need to understand is that in a free society people will say things that offend you. And you will, no doubt, say things that offend other people. Threatening or planning to commit violence is never a justified response. Hi Albatross. I saw the same story earlier and it is really good news.
