Not every country has freedom of expression.  We do.  France does.  It is totally beside the point that much of what is depicted in Charlie Hebdo offends my sensibilities.

And these are just a couple of G-rated ones.

Jeeze!  A lot of what I read in The Onion challenges my sensibilities.

And that’s okay.  In fact it’s great.  Your right to freedom of expression trumps my limited sensibilities.  Every single time.

I no longer claim to know very much about the god I grew up thinking I knew so well, let alone the god that others turn to.  But I know this:  No god is offended by cartoons or condones slaughter.  No god.

Aujourd’hui, nous sommes tous Charlie.
