A HUGE X2...

Unfortunately the actions of a minority are impacting the majority.....
.

Freedom of speech is of course one of the corner stones of this country.
However, due the the actions of a few, we are very rapidly becoming
a "better safe than sorry" culture.

Its a pervasive trend that I don't see changing anytime soon.

Obviously this often breaks down along political bias...
....which is a shame.
Because frankly, given the 'climate'....I am a "better safe than sorry" proponent.
