Let me backup.
I'm been trying to see how my post came across as "patronizingly arrogant"
I forgot, you're an OZ.
I'll be darn, I guess I'm part "Ugly American", a term dear to the French.
I was totally sincere in what I said. We in America place freedom of speech rather high on the list of things that keep us free. It's a treasured and protected right for all.
I didn't mean to say that all Americans should be able to say any Godamn thing the want- to anyone- without consequence.
