democracy in the eye of the beholder

A couple of weeks ago I posted my wish to win a cartoon competition. Obviously I was not alone. But one could give me credit for reconizing the international potential of cartoons.

Freedom for cartoons, but censoring the Stones.

[rotten] Kingdom for a joke

Are you directly threatened by the cartoons? Do they attack people who threaten you? Is any type of attack fair game?
Tolerance? Are the cartoons on the side of tolerance? No. Does it matter if the demonstrators are as intolerant? No.
Are the cartoons necessary? No.
Does tolerance make you or your cause weaker? No. Tolerance is what you need when you are on the weak side or in a minority.
Do you need tolerance? Yes. Freedom of speech is tolerance par excellence.
Can a cartoon kill? Yes, if you have the sense of humor. How do you fight a cartoon? By telling the truth.
Is a cartoon propaganda? Many times. Do they dehumanize? Many times.
Are they funny???
My father was not a courageous guy. At all, but risked going to prison many times for a good joke. A good joke needs to reflect the truth. It is many times the only weapon allowed to the weak.
are they funny?

Isn't the sense of humour a proof of elevated humanity?
