Re: gnome-themes-list Digest, Vol 72, Issue 7

"The way to free speech goes through voluntary silence."

This is one of the most wise phrases I've ever heard.
And it is right that in a place of pluralism we should give place to
tolerance and understanding.

My initial point was that even that we all have the right to point the
finger to someone and call him "murderer", we should not do it in a
respectful environment. Because this act could give place to another and
other manifestation of free speech that only generates rage and disrespect,
what goes against the so called "respectful and pluralist" place,
environment.

But hey, its a beautiful Friday, we should all enjoy it and exercise our
respect and tolerance skills over the disrespect and intolerant people,
don't you think?

I hope you all have a great day and a peaceful weekend.

Enjoy life.
