Too many people have a twisted concept of freedom. If you ask them what freedom is they will tell you that freedom is one of the most important of the human rights, that everybody should be free to go, to express their own opinon, to live their life the way they like better. Unfortunately for many of these people there is an unspoken limitation to their idea of freedom. All the above freedom is supported and defended only if it is in line with what they think or feel. If someone else try to express a different opinion, one that goes against their believes, magically this concept of freedom melts away like snow in the sun. In Italy we had an example of this behavior few days ago. The 'Standing Sentinels', a movement that intend to promote the value of the traditional family, organized one of their demonstration, that consist of standing silent in a public place, reading. No other demonstration can be more respectful and peaceful. Well, the wannabe defenders of 'everybody's rights' attacked the standing sentinels throwing objects, insulting them and looking for physical contact, that was avoiden only through a heavy police presence. Basically the freedom for these people is allowed for the people that share their ideas. All other points of view come from enemies to annihilake. Does this recall anything?
