Jan. 28th, 2009 02:15 pmHooray and congratulations to Neil Gaiman for winning the Newberry award this year for The Graveyard Book!
I enjoyed the book so much, which isn't a surprise since I tend to like all things Gaiman.
Speaking of Gaiman: I cannot wait to see Coraline. It looks so damn good!

Seriously, check out this quote from his blog re: a Dutchman being arrested for making rude/offensive cartoons of Muslims (and other minorities):
What an excellent way to summarize why the First Amendment is so important, and what a travesty it is that not all parts of the world have freedom of speech.

If you're offended by something, you talk about it. You make your own cartoons. You out-argue your opponents. You don't stop them talking, or cartooning. That's wrong. Because if you can do that to them, someone else can do that to you.
It's why supporting freedom of speech so often involves defending the indefensible, and is, often uncomfortably, the right thing to do.
