Now hear this - if you can

Donald Trump said that the US should not allow Muslims into the country "until the authorities have worked out what is going on", and immediately all hell broke loose. Recriminations and condemnations coming from just about every political leader in just about every country in the western world. I bet you too think Trump's remark is outrageous. He defended himself against his critics by saying he only suggesting something that FDR did after Pearl Harbor when he ordered the internment of all US citizens of Japanese descent.
I have thought about all this: Trump's demand, the backlash and the comparison with the internment of "aliens" (as we British called those we interned in camps in the Isle of Man), and I soon made up my mind on the issue: I don't give a fuck. First, Trump is a mouthpiece for a lot of people scared by recent jihadist events, but he's unlikely ever to be in a position of power. Secondly, even if he could implement his demand, it would be unworkable in practice. Thirdly, I have come to the conclusion that it's better to let people say what they want rather than try to silence every opinion that might offend someone. Fourthly, I am in harmony with Crocodile Dundee's reaction when he was reproached for not having an opinion on the great questions facing the world: "Who's going to hear it?"
