We can thank many of the advancements in our societies of this freedom of thought. Societies where criticism of leaders is not allowed are much worse of. Criticising MMY is no other than criticising the actions of any other leader. The criticism may be misplaced, that is not the important point here. Important is that people can criticise, when they don't approve of someone's actions.
Why are you so anxiously trying to prove criticism of MMY to be somehow useless? Do you feel equally bad when Bush is criticised? Very few are in a day to day contact with him. Do you think that only those people who are in a daily basis working with him should be allowed to criticise him? Or only such a criticism would be valid? I agree it to be refreshing to look at MMY from different angles, some of which are approving and understanding. And precisely the same applies to the president of your country. At least for me it is an even more refreshing experience. Irmeli ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
