I have been pondering very heavily my public commentary response since learning about the planning of this event. I ponder it with the weight of history and, more importantly, the legality of what I would write. Cheerfully, I live in France - a free country with a well known history of deposing a king in a brutal, violent, and public way just mere minutes on the metro from where I happen to live.

But that is history. Of course, I highly doubt that les forces de l'ordre would ever turn me over to any prosecutorial power for what I have to say about my desire for the fate of the current occupant of the White House, but a platform even as liberal as this might still have to consider it's own legal standing in regards to what one might wish to publicly write.

I therefore continue to be at an impasse.
