Sabedorias imprevistas

Ainda sobre a questão das caricaturas de Maomé, das licenciosidades e dos atentados perpretados à liberdade de imprensa no seguimento do processo do "Envelope 9", constata-se que às vezes se pode ouvir palavras sábias vindas dos "aliados" mais improváveis:

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.
