I Think This Is Right

I think those of us who are left of center need to be more comfortable with uncomfortable speech.  I realize "hate speech" is problematic, and I'd like to try and educate people past that.

But I can't support blaming the editors at Charlie Hedbo for what happened.  I can't support allowing those who are targets of satire to have a veto point over it.
