"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Harm in Hate-Speech Laws
Submitted by Westernerd on Thu, 2012-05-31 03:00

I cannot think that such a tutelary power has a place in a free society."
