Free Association

Free association is a lark when students fake majorities. But what is happening in Europe and Africa with Muslims emigrating and threatening to install Sharia law is no joke.

Surely cultural relativism as construed by anthropologists should not threaten the freedoms that majorities have worked centuries to establish. Could we not exclude or deport if necessary those who would violate social contracts that took centuries to devise and install?

Let them play god in their sand dunes, but not set us back with their cruel “certainties.”
