A lot has been said about the stupid, vulgar and possibly expensive outburst of Michael Richards. I’ve even posted a rather funny send-up of it from National Lampoon.
Now the 2 individuals from the audience have enlisted the aid of the well-known celebrity ambulance chaser, Gloria Allred, to achieve financial redress for their “pain, humiliation and suffering” by way of the legal system.
But who will be the big loser here? What are the real issues being put on trial?
I came across an article that addresses what might be at the core of this use of the legal system to make possibly precedent setting rulings in matters such as this.
I do believe that here is quite a lot of ‘social engineering’ going on in the USA - and other countries. And this might just be another example of the programming of the culture.
The US Constitution is a marvelous document. Eloquent, far seeing and the stone foundation of my nation. Its beauty lies its clearly spoken guarantees of specifically stated freedoms. One of these being the freedom of speech.
Does this freedom of speech also prohibit one from speaking what someone else doesn’t like? Or is insulted by?
Ms Allred opened her appearance on a talk show interview with - “This is not free speech, this is hate speech!.” She began, setting up the context in which she wants the world to see her argument for the $$$ in “victim compensation” from the court.
“There are social engineers in our time - and I count Allred among them - who are trying to imbue the American mind with the notion that so-called “hate speech” is not protected under the First Amendment. Now, let’s try to understand how this will be effected by taking a lesson in social engineering 101.”
A good article exploring how social engineering has become the latest threat to a free society. And even some web sites.
