2. They Should Pulish It
Sat Dec 31, 2016, 05:27 PM

We have to remember that we cannot start censoring opinions we do not like. I do not agree with the Trump deplorables but I am not in favor of silencing them. That is just as wrong as them trying to silence my opinions with which they disagree.

Now, that does not mean I believe that their speech should be free of consequences - neither should mine. If people wish to boycott me, disagree with me and say mean things about me, perhaps refuse to employ me that is fine. I will accept that as the price of freedom. They must do likewise.

I will not accept violence or threats of violence that will spur violence against me or others.
