Here are some interesting quotes from Mr. Bush. My current favorite is the one that goes: You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order . . . order out of chaos. But we will.Yup, it'll take time to restore chaos... heh heh. But with all the kidding aside, I find it very cool that people in the US, or the media, I should say, can explicitly make fun of the president of the country and completely "get away with it". I won't go as far as to say that there's 0 ceonsorship in the US, cuz US has its own issues with freedom of speech, but the degree of freedom U.S. public and media seem to practice is far greater than that of many other so-called democratic nations. As much as a lot of countries practice democracy in its fundamental form, not all of them provide freedom of speech to the extent that U.S. does. So you don't find their media mocking the president as often and as badly as they do here in the US. Americans should feel really good about that. :) If the Corean media publicly made fun of our own political leaders to the extent they do here maybe there could less riots held by angsty and, sometimes, clueless college students. Food for thought. ;) |
