Sunday Morning Cartoons

So, apparently, for years, there has been a segment of the Canadian cartoonist community who's closet genre has been drawing religious caricatures that offend other cultures to illustrate broad principles of free speech. Of course, I'm talking about those baby hamsters of intellectualism -undergrad university students. And, apparently this muslim cartoon flap has just enraged the up-til-now silent community into activism, regardless of threats by certain fun-loving fundamentalist muslims, to drink the warm blood of every human who has ever eaten at a McDonalds. Needless to say, the key messages of the fundamentalist public relations campaign could use a little tweaking. Problem is, they're saddam full of religious zeal, they can't see the jokes for the trees. Errr, the chuckles for the q'uoran?

For you Canadian university students out there: Pick your battles sensibly. Fill in the gaps in free speech that need to be filled in. The Varsity's decision not to run the cartoon was judicious. Now smoke a joint and move on to another frivolous fringe cause that you have no personal stake in.
