[Vision2020] Hmmm . . .

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Wayne,

On what does he base that? I see that quote all the time, and I wonder what his evidence is. Couldn't he as easily have said it's a paranoid society, or a scared society? Is there another, more peaceful way to attain a polite society?

I've always been a strong proponent of freedom of expression and encourage people to make up their own minds about things.

Hmmmmm - isn't one opinion just as valid as another opinion?

Just wondering???
