Under the new constitution of the free city of democratic Athens, the rights to Freedom-of-Speech and Thought were sacred, unlimited, and irrevocable.
...
And people could be ruined, or put to death, for exercising them.
Picture This, by Joseph Heller.
Let us always remember that Democracy can be oppressive just like any other form of government.
Freedom-Of-Speech is our most valuable freedom.
Defending it against repressive majority opinion is our single sacred responsibility.
