More On Free Speech

This is getting to be worrying. Juan Williams, a fairly balanced commentator on NPR and Fox News, has been given the pink slip for saying what was on his mind about Muslims in their traditional garb on airplanes. Check this out here, and here and here. By the way, the last link is from a blog called ShrinkWrapped and not surprisingly has a psychiatric slant, often helpful when dealing with media that may demonstrate aspects of mental illness. And here too. Wow, this looks like a big story. It might even make the MSM.

I know he is a lefty but at least on Fox he always had a proper apologetic look as if he were not totally serious about it.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
