Some Scary Stuff

Follow the link below for the full interview of Tom Neely and Dylan Williams experience with border officers going into Canada and two of the comic books they had in their possession.  Freedom of Speech and Expression, even though I don’t appreciate some content in the variety of types of media (comic books, books, or movies), I support the artists right to express themselves.  That’s what makes the United States special.  But you should always remember when you enter a foreign country your native country’s rights don’t transfer with you to whichever country you are visiting.
