Then again, you seem to have an answer to the cluster of issues surrounding the cartoons. I have admitted I am not sure what to make of the whole thing, nor what the right course of action is. End of story. You can argue your point more forcefully bacause of the certainty you have in the rightness of your position, which I lack about my position.
Ok? guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
I don't have an "answer". I think there are some points worth making, even if there are real consequences which would cause us not to make such points in other circumstances (and which I acknowledge). I also think that the issue is not going to go away and that it is simpler to take a stand now. It's not a matter of certainty, it's my opinion today, I very much think it is right but I don't know for sure - and that's the whole point of this debate, to have some perspective, and all of you guys have provided a lot of it, for which I am grateful even if I argue against some of the arguments provided. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Irony is sometimes a way to make one's point while disguising a direct confrontation.
Really?
So what should that school do? I'd like to hear from those that argued that the cartoons were needlessly provovcative: how would YOU react to the demands?
