17. Paul Johnson, Last Time I Checked
Edited on Fri Jun-18-04 02:10 PM by outinforce
went to Saudi Arabia as the result of a free choice he himself made.

No one compelled him or coreced him into going.

Tonight, I am going to the movies. A free choice I will make. No one is coercing or compelling me to go.

If I get killed tonight at the hands of thugs, who is guily of killing me? Am I, because I did not stay at home? Is Michael Moore, perhaps, because he made a movie that I want to see and a trailer that I will perhaps be able to see? Or is it the people who own the cinema? The city government for not eliminating crime?

I would argue that, if I get killed tonight, the people that are guilty of my murder are the people who actually kill me.

Same with Paul Johnson.

Period.

End of story.
