Attendees of #jesuischarlie march ....
Leaders at #JeSuisCharlie PARIS 11th January 2015
Now I was going to blog about the hijacking of Vox Populi, or something about hypocracy.
But then I came across 21 tweets about the attendees at a march defending free speech.
So rather than have to duplicate, myself, I'll use THEIR voice on my blog.
