They don’t want freedom of speech; they want licentiousness of speech.

Also, you are in a forest. It is expected to see wild animals, it is unexpected to see humans. If you were in a seemingly empty office, would you rather see another person or a fucking bear?

True, though I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is.

I’ll answer the opposite way: in South America we have no crows, so it was by far the most fascinating animal I saw while in England.
