Let me ask you a question!

What is more disturbing here?

Is it what an old dude has to say to a crowd of willing mature individuals?

Or, is it the fact that I cannot watch the video footage of this story on some Canadian News Media Outlets?

In a real Democracy, every Point-Of-Views matter!!!

So, what happened, here? Just, where are the debates on this issue?

I don't know! Nobody wants to talk about it!

Consequently, I sure would like to see this double-standard toward Homosexuality, being applied to POT smoking advocates, or to Prostitution Supporters for that matter.

After all, Homosexuality, POT smoking, and Prostitution are just other example of personal choices made by a Canadian citizen(s).

However, this is not the case!

The real truth, here, is we have allow a small minority group to circumvent the most important principals of our Democratic Society, namely Freedom-Of-Speech.

I just don't understand that one!!!

Aren't the Legalization of Homosexuality, the Legalization of POT, and the Legalization of Prostitution, moral issues after all.

But I guess, this is what you get, when one live in a society that has lost its moral compass.

Just in case you are experiencing technical difficulties in watching this video, here it is from YouTube:



Here it is from CBC(may not be available in some browsers):

It has nothing in common with smoking pot or utilizing the services of a sex worker.
