Free to Offend
I’ve lifted this from The Ecomomist whole because it offers a great defence of free speech. The only thing missing is a reference to our own blasphemy law. JASON KUZNICKI at the Cato Institute offers a valiant defence of free speech against those who insist on a “right” not to be offended by what other people say. He observes that challenges to free speech….. have lately arisen from the right, from the left, from Muslim perspectives and even in the name of protecting children online. These challenges seem to share an underlying concern, namely that we

I think that the proportion of atheists in the population is larger and their survey is faulty in the way they selected their sample Our survey was obviously limited to people who f
