Since passing its "shoot first, ask questions later" law last year, the state of Florida has been derided by the international press, become the subject of an ad campaign that warns visitors not to "shout or make threatening gestures" at the natives, and provided fodder for amused bloggers, pundits and late-night comics. (What's the Sunshine State's new motto? "Florida: Don't make us come up there.'')Translation: British and French journalists' opinions should be a deciding factor in which rights the government allows you to enjoy. A handful of mentally ill loons passing out propaganda leaflets at Orlando airport should be a deciding factor in which rights the government allows you to enjoy. And Hollywood and other media elites making snotty comments to the amusement of their worshippers should be a deciding factor in which rights the government allows you to enjoy.
Sounds reasonable.
If it's good enough for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it's good enough for me! I mean, we all know the media only wants what's best for us. Right?
