There’s freedom and then there’s free, OK?

Who says that the MTV generation folks (and those generations that have followed them) don’t have a sense of history or very much sense of any other kind of sense at all? Clearly aware of the historical significance of the venue they have chosen to hold tonight’s big-time flashy and designer-drugged MTV Music Award extravaganza, organizers have erected a wall around the area to keep the unchosen many out.

Or is to keep the 10,000 lucky free ticket holders in? You know, like from, well, escaping to the West? Then maybe they do have more sense than I thought.
