Essential reading

Some essential reading - particularly for those who regard legislative change as the primary vehicle for social change:

• "Say what you think. The importance of giving offence", by Muslim writer Kenan Malik;


• "The 7 Never-to-be-Forgotten Principles of Government", by Harry Browne.

Yes, I have no problem with any of that, like you often do you have said what I was trying to say with more eloquence than I could have.

Oh, okay, well, cool. :-)

I guess I was also trying to say that while I respect safe spaces I also avoid them out of respect, I understand why the space is there and I fell that if I was in that space I would have to bite my tongue when I didn’t want to or I would offend people, so I stay away and everyone is happy.

*nod* That's one of the main reasons i stayed away from 'Moist' at WoW: even though they said they were trans-friendly (though i'm not sure of whether that included my 'brand' of trans), i felt that my presence would probably cause more distress than it was worth.
