Final BH


In the Chicago Tribune column by John Kass entitled Appalling Moutza News from Greece (December 5, 2017), what does Kass say is the main reason why the Greek government's ban of the moutza is personally insulting to him? Do you think most informed Americans would agree that the Greek government's ban of the moutza by motorists is a poorly considered policy that would be similar to if the US government tried to ban "flipping the bird"? Provide examples from any of your reading, your conversations with other Americans or your experience to support your evaluation of the author's assertion.
