GB: No Freedom of Speech Anymore

That’s strange, because I clearly remember being kicked out of a youth hostel in Amsterdam back in November 1961 and having the police called on me when I was still in my teens. My offense? Practicing silence. I had been reading a book on Zen Buddhism and in a fit of youthful idealism I had decided to stop speaking for several days, under the misguided belief that it would somehow enrich my mind.

Anyway, never before or since have I encountered people in positions of authority in a Western nation who struck me as so petty and tyrannical.
No way! Really? Yeah there are loads of tyrannical assholes here.

That being said, I did very much appreciate the ladies in the windows, and once I discovered them, I was like a kid with a sweet tooth running amok in a candy store.
final note to you. Someone once told me that I was too detailed. Too obsessed. To much! Their final comment was that "you bore me!".
My final comment to you is the same.
