Re: It is encumbent upon us all (4.00 / 3)

From across the Atlantic it is good to see a continent's newspapers standing up to an onslaught from religious fundamentalists, I wish ours would here against our own fundamentalists. I think this is an excellent post and admire the strong stand in the defense of freedom of speech. We are having a bit of trouble hanging on to our freedoms over here and are hoping to get back in control of our senses and make some amends.

I've been lurking here for a while and this is my first post so let me say that myself and many of my friends look to Europe for encouragement and admire the freedoms you enjoy. Not to mention the train system.

Welcome! (none / 0)

However taking my daughter to the train this morning at 07.15 in minus 18 centigrade was not much fun...
