Words to live byI am a First Amendment absolutist and I would like to read, amid the discussion of how the Delete key should be wielded, some more nuanced discusssion than I have seen on just where anyone believes the line should be drawn in censoring the Web, blogs or any other speech. Certainly the words and images directed at Kathy are hateful and abhorrent. If a law has been broken, the accused should be prosecuted. Let's do keep in mind, however, that that person is the one who created and posted the words and images. Beyond that, I don't see what can or should be done publicly. In case anyone hasn't noticed, anonymous abusers are not the sort of people who "own their words." There are bad people in the world. They do bad things. Bad things happen to good people. And it multiplies the violation when good people respond in kind. Subscribe Buttons                    | |
both sides are right... almost...
I'm Vilnius (Vilna) resident as well and will try to be as independent as possible because I don't care which side is more right.
1) There is no such cemetery in Vilnius. It is just site where cemetery was located for long time. Tomas is right by saying that that place was destroyed in 1950;
2) While it is only site (actually bunch of buildings, car pooling place and almost no green areas - what's actually rather rear in Vilnius) you can still treat it as historical place of cemetery.
3) To make everything more interesting Jewish people sold area of cemetery to Russian czar in XIX century.
It is big dispute even here in Lithuania.
