okay, i am really hungry right now but i just have to post this entry 'coz i am so passionate about this issue/topic. i just came out of the shower when i saw something on the news about a journalism student from university of florida who was tasered at an open forum with john kerry. see video below.
well, what do you think? do you care as much as i do? frankly i care very much that i just had to do a video response aside from the fact that i am trying to make myself famous on youtube. anyways, my response is below.
there, i ranted! and this time it's not about my friend JP (there JP, i mentioned you on my blah-g). anyways, i just think that it's sad that this sort of suppression of ideas still happen in the university. i think that we should encourage radical thinking in universities. i think that the organizers of the event should have been more prepared in terms of the questions that would be thrown at john kerry. after all, people are often very passionate about politics and/or religion. they could have avoided this by actually screening the questions before giving the student the podium. in any event, i just don't think that the student should have been tasered when he was clearly being hand-cuffed and when there were 4 officers pinning him to the ground.
to ANDREW MEYERS -- i fully support you and fully support freedom of speech.
I WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVING THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE.
