I have no problem with Eleanor. Her thesis is accurate, and I agree with it in substance. If I offended anyone by saying her words were offensive, it would be her. And I would apologise to her if she called me on it.

That doesn't mean they want to kill me. I also probably didn't meet a single Japanese who did now view me as a gaijin. They don't want to kill me because of it, either.
Again you put words in my mouth. My contention is that they would willingly deprive you of your freedom of speech in regards to religion, your daughter of her freedom to dress and live as she sees fit, your gay friend of his right to happiness.
