The Might of the Pen

In light of the loss of 12 lives in France I want to say one simple thing. Terrorism works by creating fear within a populace. The goal of that fear is compliance.

If courage is measured by a person’s willingness to face their fears, not the absence of fear lets hope that the writers, journalists, and all those who practice free speech have the courage to write what is in their hearts. Because it is worth it.
