All right, so Mr. Bob Dylan, his “bobness”, no pun intended, just weighed in on the method of Mr. Kirk.
Now, I don’t take sides. I have been an adamant follower of Noam Chomsky, cultural marxists as Adorno. So, I am not saying that the right wing is better than the left wing.
What I am saying though is, that truth is often unheard of. People don’t like to hear to hear the truth.
As Mr. Bob Dylan argued, Mr. Kirk could just have been nice.
Well, the very father of democracy; Socrates, he DIED for free speech.
Because the fact of the matter is, that if you exercise your will to speek freely, which is, by no coincidence, the first amendment, you will be hated, persecuted, vilified and so on.
So why?
Because truth is supposed to be the redeemer. Truth will conquer evil, corruption and a stagnant society.
That is the very point of the Statue of Liberty.
First amendment, freedom of speech.
It’s a valued and important to both right and left in the political spectrum.
Often though, tyrants try to silence criticism.
As I have been silenced.
The ligth, the truth shines light like a beacon on the top of the hill however.
This was what Charlie believed in. You can be divided and annoyed by him, but he WAS kind. He let other people speak. So I don’t get it. He exercised the first amendment, in a kind way, drawing ridicule and scorn.
But that is how truth works, and he was a light bringer.
G-d bless the will of the enlightened to keep carrying the torch of the truth.
