I am fine, thank you. Practicing punctuation and capitalization daily.
you seem to be a statist to me
I agree that government is evil. Especially the government that imports Muslims in their country so that the French can have two month vacations and 30 hour work weeks, and wine lunches.
This being said, freedom of speech is a good thing when reasonable people speak. When some commie halfwits make fun of everyone they disagree with, -- religion and capitalism, and make no substantive arguments, only insults -- then that is not speech. That is public indecency. How they are going to do it: by making laws or by tort cases for damages, -- is not my business. But the idea that any drawing or uttering is immediately protected speech is ridiculous, and it just turned deadly.
Do you trust the Holder Justice Department to draw the fine line between "reasonable speech" and "insults"? Look at how that idea has worked out in Canada.

Do you think it wouldn't have "turned deadly" if the magazine had criticized Islam "reasonably"? Salman Rushdie was on a much higher literary level than Charlie Hebdo, and he still got a fatwa against him.
Who gets to define what is “reasonable”?
You agree government is evil but you want to give GOVERNMENT the power to decide what is offensive speech. ridiculous. government IS evil and the problem so is the mainstream media.
The mainstream media does more to slander Christianity and capitalism than anyone and they do it from a million times a day from a million sources
And who decides what is "reasonable." Censorship is a "cure" that's even worse than the disease.
