often its the way you say it...

I'm all for free speech but often, its not only what you wish to say, but it how and where you say it, freedom does not excuse stupidity, we all have the right to be stupid,but almost always its preferable to choose tact over ranting like a drunken idiot especially when you are sober.
Mel gibson might leave a lot to be desired on the aspect of being a human being, but he is a good actor and arguably an above average film director, artists are rarely exemplary role models,few people really are, but Mel had an excuse of sorts when he made all those horrible remarks some time ago, he was drunk off his Tuchus, Helen was sober, perhaps she is getting a bit senile, at any rate in my mind its hard to find an excuse for her foolish and hurtful remarks, especially considering where she made them.
