Should we form a commitee to make jokes? To make sure
that they are properly vetted to ensure that one armed
Swedish bi-sexual visible minorities who refuse to speak
English on Thursdays aren't offended? At that point,
why don't we form a commitee to ensure that all potentially
offensive people are sent to live out their lives in the
mountains?
In all seriousness, it is unreasonable and in fact
foolish to attempt to censor jokes such as the one I
posted. Yet again speaking as the humble civillian that
I am, I'd rather have the army JOKING about violent acts
against the government than plotting them. Give our
soldiers the credit they deserve in being able to tell
the difference between a joke and a bad idea.
Lastly, I don't think it's a bad idea for people to have
the idea, ESPECIALLY our politicians, that if Canadians
are pushed far enough, we'll toss 'em outta office. I
don't think we're anywhere near where that would be required,
but preaching that such a circumstance couldn't exist
might be dangerous.
