The Iranian people continue to risk prison, torture and death in order to pursue their inalienable right to live free of extremist religious dictatorship.
Is this the kind of freedom they are seeking? Get rid of the medieval Ayatollahs only to fall pray to capitalist decadent crap? We have plenty of such "freedom" in Latin America, and it hasn't really made us FREE in the truest and deepest sense of the concept. Try harder Serendipity.
moy: You have no credibility to talk. You're just as tyrannical, vile, morally corrupt, and self-rightous as those you abhor. And you might think you're smart, but you're not. You don't have one original thought of your own.
Please don't leave any comments on my blog anymore...I will not publish it. Get the hell out my blog.
Dear Serendip,
Would you like me to take a shot at it? I can show you some conversations where I've spoken to Iranian men who hated me at first, but by the time they left because they could no longer speak a mean word, well, that's the point isn't it? :)
