I agree, in part, Moose. Although I do not deny the magazine its right to make
satirical comment about whom they like (although satire used to be comment on
the important people, normally unreachable by the masses) a right does not have
to be exercises, especially if it offends. And that offence was caused
unnecessarily, whether in the case of the Danish cartoons or French.
In addition, I felt very sad to read about the people who decided that they
could make it across the bridges when the river was in spate.
