#3 The sad part is that he would still be better than what we currently have.

#4 Terry Jones is an obnoxious unfashionable bitter clinger with a grating personality.

But he helped expose some inconvenient truths about our confrontation with Islam. His uncompromising defiance is preferable to the slow suffocating self-finlandization that the West has imposed on itself since at least 9/11.

Like e.g. Richard Dawkins who is similarly unsympathetic to many (and who has profound philosophical differences with Jones), he is basically one of the good guys.

The vilification of Jones, and the casual dismissal of his rights to free expression and free exercise of religion has exposed deep character flaws in our elites.

Terry Jones is a canary in the coal mine, and we ignore the abuse and the injustice he suffered at our own peril.

#5 He's got every right to free expression the rest of us have. He's no more qualified to be president than my dog.

#8 So how many BTUs in a book? Source of alternate energy? Not a good precedent to set, though. Just a narrow energy question.
