Sadly, sedition would be vilified. Look at Mr Snowden. Enemy of the state, now exiled in Moscow. He's one of many, and as there are no controls, and the game of extortion is played at the highest level like a bad poker game, the chances of clarity, openness, and even "just the right thing" are nil.

On a more serious note, I'd never judge anyone by their skin color or ethnic background... but their behavior and cultural attitude, that's goddamned fair game.

Reality may be a bitch; what she isn't is a racist.
Consider the matter settled.
(slap!) Your mom told you that you're a smart little boy? She lied; you really ought to shut the fuck up because you're quite clearly an idiot - no offense meant, by the way; it's strictly an observation...
Remember Bush pardoning the telcos for their fascist behavior?
