the blog censor

the blog censor

once upon a time in the USA there existed freedom of the press,including free speech. citizens counted on the Bill of Rights and the1st Amendment protections that it offered us.

for a time we enjoyed the ability to be able to blog about stuff and communicate with others online without censorship. 

but now i must announce with great sadness,that this is no longer the case.although i don't know exactly who the blog censor ,sic moderator is, yes the word moderator did appear on my screen as i attempted to post the offending lines of text to my own blog.

when was the moderator instituted?what is this?its my blog!

of course there is self restraint. maybe some things should not be posted online.

it occurred to me to post a story about what happened to me in '66 during my own encounter with the KKK because once again someone is tagging swastikas and these three letters KKK in our great city of San Antonio,TX/both near synagogs and on the east side in a predominantly black neighborhood.by the way if you buy me some spay paint i will paint a pretty mural over those tags for you.

the Klan once had the audacity to have a parade and rally in Skokie,IL a predominantly Jewish area.they went to court and got a permit because they also have the right to express their opinion even though a lot of people are offended by it. 

guess what we who are offended by the Klan also have the right to have parades too.when they have a rally again how about their opponents parade behind em wearing colorful pointy hats togas and blow those big plastic horns and kazoos.and  make fun of em.actually i think that was done at their last rally.so next time maybe dress like the storm troopers from star wars, darth vader ,all comic con,muertitos,or monty python.always look on the bright side of life. we have an artist who made neon signs that said make tacos not war to protest against the vietnam war.don't forget the dancing dragons from the chinatown parades.squirt guns with food coloring or paintballs to stain the Klans white sheets sounds like fun,
