I wasn't endorsing the cartoon, it was simply the only topical one I could find.<BR/><BR/>And you're right, it does have a certain connotation, and it's one that I think represents the opinions of many Canadians (that our security is being neglected for the sake of "rights"). Sure, it could be seen as propaganda, or it can be seen as a reflection of some individuals opinions. Whether we agree or not does not change the fact that such a sentiment exists. <BR/><BR/>If someone wants to ascribe an opinion to me based on a cartoon expressing the artist's opinion (which isn't supported in any way by my opinion written below), they can feel free.Olafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434267803807108634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-81847376602790086202007-03-01T15:22:00.000-05:002007-03-01T15:22:00.000-05:00Yes, and isn't it just marvelous to see that the c...Yes, and isn't it just marvelous to see that the cartoonist considers democracy nothing more than "fun and games"?That guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254412890551965391noreply@blogger.com
