Should we allow the first quote, the one from Fox News? That one is pretty aggressive and biased. It doesn't belong on a site like this.

Im gonna pull it off, someone can revert the change later, but I just feel that it does not belong here.

YES, that first quote was aggressive and biased, as was your attempt to CENSOR it. Though I generally dislike the use of labels in any absolutist manner, I could be described by many as a very assertive LIBERTARIAN SOCIALIST, or ANARCHIST, in the view of many — and I assert ALL views SHOULD be heard — so that the most ignorant, confused and biased of people can be gradually educated and enlightened as to not treat commonly abused words like liberal, conservative, anarchist, socialist and libertarian as merely pejoratives as they are commonly used by the extremely shallow and dimwitted. I know that I can be very harsh with my words at times, but I feel strongly that intense HONESTY is an imperative, IF we are to escape from the long tyranny of lies and dissimilation which have too long plagued humanity. I have great faith that EVERY viewpoint should be ALLOWED — those which are most profoundly true and reasonable will survive, and eventually flourish. That is about all I have time to say right now, as I must leave for about an hour or two, but encourage the addition of more quotes from those who sympathize with the protestors, as I do, and not the deletion of quotes which disagree with them, or even mock them. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 03:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
