I was horrified yesterday as I watched guests on All In with Chris Hayes suggest that the correct response to the Paris attacks by religious zealots be adopting an International Standard of Decency which essentially adopts the terrorists point of view as the standard. I mean seriously. I have been in strong opposition to all forms of censorship since I had the slightest notion of what it was. Attempts to adjudicate what is decent or acceptable language ALWAYS seem to seek the lowest factor, the sensibilities or beliefs of the person who is most easily offended as the standard by which the rest of us should surrender our freedom and live by. Its insanity. We should never bend to any religion that seeks to dictate what the expression of our conscience should be even if that expression is by the broadest standards crass, base or offensive.
