Just as importantly I wanted to see if publishers, especially in the US and Europe who defended their publishing under the ideal of free speech, would publish cartoons that might make their speech expensive by offending their main audience and advertisers.

Virtually no respondents believe that job loss, involuntary reductions of working hours, cuts in healthcare benefits or ''speedup'' (forced harder work) had resulted from the ordinance.
The evidence is unequivocal: None of the predicted negative consequences have materialized in any meaningful way. |
