Now it may just be because it's 3:45 here, and I've spent most of the day in a heavily smoky atmosphere - neither of which are conducive to clear headedness, but there seems to be a subtext in some of these "Sony shouldn't have done it" posts which seems to be suggesting that because it might offend some people it should maybe never have been published at all. Which is something I find rather frightening. I've waffled on long enough here, so I'll leave it at that for now, but I may come back to it when I'm less tired.[/QUOTE]

I am in favor of publishing books critical of anyone or anything. I have had friends in the past when I was a Pro Wrestler who were gay. I am just sick and tired of Christianity being attacked when so many other subjects are off limit. I worked in Iraq etc for KBR Halliburton for two years. I made alot of Muslim friends, but we all know what happens if they are attacked in print.
