Why were Galileo and Capernicus put to death? Because they were branded heretics by the Authority of the day for thinking about and discussing forbidden topics. We do the same thing today. If you try to discuss border controls you are branded a racist. That is supposed to stop discussion because racism is a forbidden topic. I don't want to be branded a racist for raising a topic. Pulling out the 'biggot card' to stop discussion is a corruption of our freedoms. However, the grain of truth exists there too. We should not be forbidden to ever use the word biggot when and where it applies. Let's keep our discussion going, lets keep thinking openly and honestly. If the word applies, lets use it to accurately and truthfully label conduct that deserves it. And take our stand on noble ground.
