“If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.” - Noam Chomsky "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." --George Orwell "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." — C. S. Lewis And JRRT: "I am not a "socialist" in any sense - being averse to "planning" (as must be plain) most of all because the "planners", when they acquire power, become so bad ." -- and the most awful crime of the planners is the determination of which thoughts and opinions must be 'planned' out of existence.
