Yes, When One's In Rome - You Know The Rest

One oughta - at least attempt to - 'do as the [locals] do'...rather than throwing one's weight (be that physical or 'just' psychical) around. Such naturally has innumerable practical, everyday, 'real life' applications - but we won't here get into the oft-contentious matter of 'entertaining' one's in-laws - or more often outlaws. But on more substantial, weighty matters: how come no-one among our Western intelligentsia ever bothers to inform either the Middle Eastern multitudes, much less immigrants to our shores from those parts, that freedom of speech and expression is such a precious 'commodity' that we've been periodically prepared to die for that great, much-revered value - however abhorrent the individual expression of that principle may well happen to be. End of story.
