this 2 lawyers Separated at birth?
We certainly did consider that, but since Edmw is the main community here and we would like more new users to become members of Edmw, we put it here. So there may be one or two silos in Edmw from time to time. But I can see your cocnern. I can only ask that you trust us, that this won't lead to a back slide to authoritarian moderation.[/QUOTE]
Repression, Sir is a habit that grows. I am told it is like making love-it is always easier the second time! The first time there may be pangs of conscience, a sense of guilt. But once embarked on this course with constant repetition you get more and more brazen in the attack. All you have to do is to dissolve organizations and societies and banish and detain the key political workers in these societies. Then miraculously everything is tranquil on the surface. Then an intimidated press and the government-controlled radio together can regularly sing your praises, and slowly and steadily the people are made to forget the evil things that have already been done, or if these things are referred to again they're conveniently distorted and distorted with impunity, because there will be no opposition to contradict.
