Moore updates

Ok. So the BBC reported on what the Austrlians had to say about Mr Michael "I'm too good for all of you" Moore. I think the Australians hated it and the Aussie government slammed Mr Moore for being the a*#hole that he is (in case you haven't figured it out, I hate the guy). But besides slamming Mr Moore, I'd like to point out what the Aussie minister said:

"Mr Costello, who holds the second highest position in the Australian government, criticised Moore, but said the film-maker was entitled to express his views.
'Mike Moore is entitled to his opinion but that's the quintessential ugly American, sitting down attacking the Australian prime minister,' said Mr Costello. "

Yup. Freedom of speech folks. Having lived in the US, I kinda like it. Say what you want but you gotta deal with the consequences of your words and actions. Something I think that is lacking in Singapore, thanks to self-censorship and the higher power's implicit encouragment of self-censorship.

Just a short one for now. Will be back soon.
