The value of speech is too high to curb it by prosecuting those who misuse
it. When I was growing up, those in authority worked on the those on the
receiving end of bullying. I was told, "sticks and stones may break your
bones but words will never hurt you." Although the proverb might not
be entirely accurate, I needed to hear this. This made me develop a
thick skin. I realized that words only hurt me if I let them hurt
me. I much more favor this approach than putting bullys in jail. A
true bully will eventually move toward violence anyway, and that is when the
system will then discipline him and correct the evil root which he had allowed
to grow within him.
If Canada develops a lot of wimps who cannot handle any amount of
criticism, we will know that I was right about how their approach is wrong in
dealing with this problem.
Isn't it ironic how you support Canada prosecuting people who express
disagreement with others, but you do not support God for judging the
wicked?
Peace be with you.
