| Message | No! The left seems to think that the people of Dundorf are too stupid to form their own opinions! Only because the LGB sees private business as a sinister force trying to manipulate the citizens, this doesn't mean we have to prohibit the diversity of opinions! Everyone, may it be a private individual or a company, has the right to express its views via running a media, and every individual is capable of comparing different sources of information to form his/her personal opinion on any issue. Furthermore, the term 'community media' is complete nonsense, because there is no such thing as 'community'! Society consists of individuals and should not be seen collectively. We strongly oppose this assault on free speech. Luigi de Filippo LDP Spokesman for Education and Culture |
