Never before has the great wide public
enjoyed the rare prerogative given to royalty
celebrity and literary giants to express an
opinion, offer a bon mot, offend a community
post gratuitous photographs of bare flesh
boast their supreme confidence in self
and boost a theory while promulgating
the dark side of epiphanies celebrating
the violation of humanity's search for amity
as during this age of amplified equality of
expressive opportunity. The lowliest among
us can express sentiments with aplomb equal
to that of a crowned monarch, a sordid celebrity
hoping to gather a dedicated following whose
numbers are proof positive of their wit and
wisdom. Yet even there in that wilderness of
communication there are rules and regulations
not government-issued but deliberations of
permittedness by the arbiters whose shining
platforms of expression are open to all and
closed to those chosen to represent the motley
unrepresentative of society by those with the
ultimate power to designate heads of terrorist
groups and governments perfectly legitimate
purveyors of hatred and violence, inexcusable
in those whose ideologies confront their own.
