After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Being facile verbally is a fine thing. But I’d suggest Scott Adams consider preparing for the next stage of Free Speech suppression; when they break down his door and beat him, bust out his teeth, break his fingers and throw bleach in his eyes. Ask Andy Ngo how that works in the early stages.
President Trump quite frankly hasn’t yet gotten even token control of DOJ or the Federal Courts and the Prisons would be doing land office business, 24/7. Until then it only going to get worse and more deadly.
When your cartoonists are you champions, the world is a very interesting place, indeed. I listen to SA consistently. It’s noteworthy that reason and persuasion are not common skills in the public arena. The Dilbert artist has that in abundance.
Here’s how I conceptualize what the Left is trying to do with free speech: For at least the last 50 years, we in the US have had robust free speech coming from any and all sides of the culture and politics. Even very extreme Leftists have been able to climb up on platforms and deliver any message they chose, up to and including such doozies as “there is no biological male/female sex binary” and that “there is such a thing as Feminist Glaciology.” Respect for free speech in both culture and law gave them all the room they needed to saturate us with their own preferred speech. But now that they have everyone’s attention, they want to pull the ladder up and stand on their broadcast platform alone, denying anyone else the same opportunity to find a platform for their own speech. Bastards.
Bastards indeed. It’s a good thing that in the end free speech will prevail and they will lose.
