It recognizes that the freedom to speak must also be insisted on for the person who thinks differently, because it is pointless to support only free speech for people who agree with you. It is not only unprincipled to want that, but also self-defeating. For your own sake, you need to know how other people think.” ~ Christopher Hitchens “Forbidden Thoughts,” American Enterprise, January 1995 Speech Ratings and Comments SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
