"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

In the name of 'diversity', French move to block the expansion of "American culture" (?!)...I really don't know how to respond to this level of progressive moonbattery except to say it's predictable. OK, here's Eurosoc's report on the "manifesto for alternative globalisation" [yuk yuk]. We link, you wrap your skull in duct-tape to keep your head from exploding.

Related: Angry in The Great White North shakes down Canadian television media:

"No matter what system you pick, the content is the same, dictated by the government to ensure that there is enough Canadian content. It doesn't matter that no one watches it because CRTC rules demand that these Canadian channels be packaged together, sometimes in obligatory packages that you must pay for as a viewer, sometimes with popular American channels with the expectation that many Canadians will pay for a few Canadian channels they don't watch in order to get an American channel that they do watch.

"We pay for the channels filled with programs we don't watch, and a piece of that money goes back to the artists. Some of them probably think that it means they are successful."

Just consider for a moment that all the broadcast and cable media in the US was filtered by the "progressive" establishment. Well, boring, agendized, predictable, dull and uninteresting TV is one thing - I'm used to not watching it. But God forbid the overbearing, liberal, Nannies start pulling threads out of the world-wide-web.
