More photos of the big evil fence in Quebec City from Reuters: 1, 2, 3

An oft-repeated debate about free speech, free trade, censorship, and the like.
I recently went back and read some bits of the discussion of Bijan's article about appropriate responses to spew, er, bad speech.
I find I'm getting more and more picky about what I write on misnomer, but the net result is not an increase in the quality of my postings, but a decrease in the frequency of them. All kinds of stress, exams, Argosy stuff, etc. might have something to do with that.
Dru,
I've found myself going through cycles with my writing, first with Retrogression for years, then with Weblogger. I'll go through periods when I write a lot, then periods where I slow down and don't write/post often, either because I feel like I have discussed everything I want, or because other pressures in my life are taking over.
thanks for the link to pictures of the fence. what a tremendous waste of money. it actually insults me too much to articulate well. but do canadian citizens really think these millions of dollars spent on police and fences for this are actually worthwhile?! we're paying for violence...
