Stop cancelling people and stop censorship

It seems as if censorship and cancel culture are going after everyone. I am disappointed in Jimmy Kimmel and the other late night hosts, they no longer focus on comedy or calm discussions. They seem to be only focused on Trump. We have no where to go to escape 24/7 politicization of everything. I love discussing politics but, I also like to think about other things and listen to music and watch comedy. I don't like Alex Jones, I think he is an alarmist. I have said this on this blog before; but, I don't think he should have been banned from the public square that is YouTube for life.

We are now in a world where an 18 year old can be banned for life for saying something stupid on the internet, no mercy, no learning curve, just permanent exile. No judge, no jury, just punishment. "Let he amongst you who has not sinned cast the first stone", was not said to excuse the adulterer, it was said to prevent her death. It is odd that people who claim to be against the death penalty or life imprisonment without the chance of parole believe in permanently deleting people from social media. And no, I am not referencing myself. My pitiful little blog is way to small to come under attack.
