A Night in Saigon – Debate at a Bar

…rruption going on with the police especially in Chicago. We also discussed free speech. There are some things better off left unsaid here but I heard that some right wing companies in the USA refused to do business with the “lefties” and in certain parts of America it is taboo to speak about certain things.
