I am enjoying this – the freedom I have to express my opinion in this blog.
I have been suprised at and pleased that people have taken the time to comment.
It seems perhaps not every one has that freedom.
According to news I just read at news.bbc.co.uk
“Two bloggers from Azerbaijan are facing up to five years in jail after posting a video of a donkey giving a news conference on YouTube.”

Authorities say they are just investigating a criminal case but the lawyer of Andnan Hajizade and Emin Milli claims the arrests were politically motivated. The two men were held by police on hooliganism charges after an incident at a restaurant after the video was posted.
In the video, the donkey appears to send up government news conferences claimed by critics to be nothing more than propaganda.
I don’t know for a fact who is right or who is wrong as I don’t know all the details, but I side with the bloggers and I am just grateful that I have the freedom to express that fact here.
