We log on and sound off, blissfully unaware words have consequences.

Against cartels
Against inequality

Censors are cowards living in fear of ideas other than their own.

We are Charlie Hebdo
At least, until we don’t
Until we forget that words have power
Until we must decide whether we want freedom or safety, responsibility or comfort, liberty or servitude

Well said. Words worth remembering.
Sobering glimpses of reality for many on our planet.
