We are Charlie

Editorial by Jeff Burgar for South Peace News

Insight into the why, wherefore and what-have-you of the Charlie Hebdo killing in France spans huge arrays of opinion.

In a matter of hours, now days, comment around the world polarized into two factions. Let us call the first group the They Deserved It group. If you are going to twist the tigers tail, expect to be bitten.

Lets call the second group the Damn the Torpedoes group. Full steam ahead. Freedom of speech trumps everything.

And so it goes. Place yourself where you wish, with or without qualifications.

So-called politically correct folks would mostly fall in the first camp. Politically incorrect would fall in the second camp.

Pragmatic realists first camp and idealists second camp. Most people first camp. A much smaller group we might call wild-eyed extremists in the second camp.

And of course, what we might call that second group would depend on who is calling who what.

What some call terrorists others might call freedom fighters. What some call criminals others might call revolutionaries.
