While we are at it the way many government agencies operate is kafkaesque, until the present government poured in money the condition of many schools was dickensian, our High Streets on a saturday night are often the scene of hogarthian insobriety but by a hardian irony we lack the swiftian wit to appreciate all of this. Oh dear this is turning into a wolfian stream of (semi) consciousness or is it a pavlovian reaction? I had better go so a voltarian can say its all for the best in a panglossian sort of way. Hope I have not made any freudian errors although thr reference to Dr Pangloss on a day when an earthquake has been reported could be seen as unfortunate.

Do the people who are against restrictions on free speech also oppose restrictions to the right to buy and sell homes? Can you have free speech without a free market?

We have neither!

Free speech means that I can say what I want to. We don´t have that right in this land cuz if we slander someone then they can sue us. We have to prove that we didn´t mean to cause any offence. We only have the right to free speech so long as we insert ¨allegedly¨ into the sentence. Meaning that we don´t have free speech.

As for the market - do we have a free one?

I have the right to buy a house wherever I want - so long as I´ve got the money. I have the right to buy food wherever I want - so long as I´ve got the money.

The word free is much misused. It means: ´Not affected or restricted by a given condition or circumstance´.

Unfettered.
