I enjoy hearing the opinions and views of others on many wide ranging subjects and I do think Voltaire had it cracked when he uttered the now famous lines:
"I might disagree with your opinion, but I am willing to give my life for your right to express it."
Opinions are sharply divided at the moment over what constituted appropriate action in the light of the latest Jeremy Clarkson debacle. On this particular one my own view is that forget the ratings, the celebrity status....a fellow doing his job was hurt and the perpetrator if found guilty must take both responsibility and the consequences of his actions. End of. Many though take a different line. Fair enough. Let's be grateful for living in a democracy where we can...
This quote along similar lines caught my eye...am liking the sentiment.
"A lion doesn't lose sleep over the opinion of a sheep."
Arilx
