Irony
It is the people who make the most fuss about freedom
Who are the ones quickest to deny the freedom of others.
Is their idea of freedom little more than licence for themselves
And oppression for their brothers?
Are the people who delight in derogatory language
Not the ones who are
Intolerant of criticism,
Like bullies in the midnight choir?

I hear a lot of talk from many Americans who cherish their freedom, who feel that PC is an infringement of their rights.
I feel that what they really crave is not freedom but the license to abuse and bully.
Any freedom that robs other people of their power, rights or freedom, that causes oppression or fear, is nothing more than tyranny and bullying.
Communities are about compromises, empathy and understanding. Nobody is entitled to absolute freedom.
This John Wayne fantasy is incredibly harmful.
Freedom is fairness, consideration and finding the middle ground.
Everyone should have their rights preserved – not just a loud, brash few.
License is freedom to abuse and oppress.
