The main political difference was between those who did, and those who did not, believe that the citizen could -- or should -- be the property of the state.~ Christopher Hitchens There is a utilitarian case for free expression. 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 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
