Thank you so much for the China Mieville link. He gets the gold star for the best sentence for the week–
“It is depressing to have to point out, yet again, that there is a distinction between having the legal right to say something & having the moral right not to be held accountable for what you say.”
This sentence–actually the whole thing–was PERFECT. Bravo, sir, bravo! [Insert the sound of my hands clapping]
