Hello, Keep Your Shoes to Yourself

| | Comments (2) |

I don't care what anyone says. No one has a right to throw anything at anyone unless it is a bouquet at a wedding or something else of value, and it is the same for President Bush and the shoe-throwing incident. This includes all forms of hurling the things across the room, too whether it is in person or in a video game.

I know it is a freedom of speech issue founded by the non shoe-throwing founding fathers but that doesn't mean that common decency should go flailing across the room, too. Besides, there are other ways of registering disdain for another person like confiding in a friend, posting an entry in a journal or in the case of a public figure, writing a letter or staging a protest or demonstration.

While I don't like to see people getting killed (except for terrorists, Nazis or skinheads, which are pretty much the same thing) I was one of the .000876% of the population who thought that we should have gone into Iraq and deposed Saddam Hussein just for being a lunatic, a madman and one heck of a nutty guy.
