air and time and space and light

I have seen this Censorship image while reading a blog on blogger.com and I loved it! These days I am thinking a lot about censorship and freedom of speech. So I just came across with this image in time. Because I am in the Philippines, I am watching TV in English all the time. Before CNN, BBC World were channels that I would just see by chance. But for almost three months now I am watching CNN very often and I am following the presidential elections in USA. I love to watch the debates between Obama and Clinton. I like the way these guys are taking things calmly, and playing it smartly. I am watching Jon Stewart, David Letterman, these guys are making fun of people and nobody is offended. Unlike Turks the people I see on TV are laughing, are not offended and their pride is not hurt. I have come to admit that we Turks get offended easily and our pride is so vulnerable. I watch Sicko, Michael Moore is criticizing American health system so severely and he is alive! A French movie Persepolis is portraying the revolution in Iran and the woman can do this because she lives in France and not in a Muslim country.. The caricaturist guy is taking life threats in Denmark because he hurt the feelings of some others.. I wish people were tolerant towards each other and just have a good sense of humor. Censoring words, feelings, speech, thoughts does us no good..
