My Thoughts
“When you tear out a man’s tongue,” George R. R. Martin writes, “you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” Now, someone—I no longer can recall who—upon hearing this would no doubt head-bobble, grin, and cackle, “Now, honey, ain’t that just the gawd-awfullest truth!” It sure seems that way these days, especially with all the social media technocrats and guvmint bombasticrats and public health dictators-for-life working overtime to muzzle anyone daring to dissent from their orthodoxy. Of what or whom are they afraid, exactly?
