The only sane verdict has been reached in the Geert Wilders trial in Holland! He was acquitted of all five charges of hate-speech. What did he say? He spoke publicly about the rise and impact of militant Islam in Holland and across Europe. As someone who lived in the Netherlands for three years and who also is concerned with the spread of totalitarian Islam and stealth jihad, I have followed this case for some time now.
I am glad that there is still such a thing as freedom of speech in Europe - to have lost this battle would have been a crushing blow for the free democracies of the West (as we are called and loosely grouped). I'm sure that those who brought charges up against Mr. Wilders will not go quietly, and this fact is evidenced by the 24-hour security guards that the man must now live with.
Still it is wonderful news and I applaud it.

Who's Laughing Now?
For years I have been deeply suspicious of veggies. They are green. Usually when someone says, "Hey! This food is all green!" don't most people narrow their eyes and ask what's wrong with it? In my experience with people, the answer is "Yes."
Some vegetables are closely related to poisonous flora. Like Hemlock, that vile plant that ended Socrates' life - a first cousin to Tomatoes. It makes one wonder... Would you go out with the sibling of a known serial killer? Yikes! It's better not to take the risk!
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy some veg. Some of my best friends are veggies, in fact. (If you've heard this one before, feel free to stop me...) OK, I'll stop.
