That was a very heavy concept and I thought it a real dig at the left at the time (yeah, I thought in such terms even then).

The idea of cutting out your tongue in protest of someone's cutting out someone else's tongue sounds bizarre, especially since doing that removes the one tool you can most use to fight crimes like that.

Sort of like voting for Nader in 2004.

Whatever the value of the symbolic act (if there was any) it still cripples your ability to achieve the real goal.
