Freedom of Speech


Since the recent events in Paris the title subject has come to the forefront and foreign news has overshadowed some activity at home. The city of Boston has been nominated as our country's submission to hold the 2024 Summer Olympics. However, this news has not been embraced by a large segment of the local population. This has rankled their new mayor who has been in office all of seventeen days. He has signed an agreement that prohibits employees of the city from making negative comments about the Games or the process.
....no statements - written or oral - that reflect unfavorably upon, denigrate or disparage, or are detrimental to the reputation etc etc. Somehow I can't help but think his predecessor of twenty years would have handled the issue differently. Pretty soon we won't be able to boo the Red Sox.
