On free speech

Global Warming Politics 

“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be in silencing mankind.” (John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859)

“We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.” (John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859)

“We value freedom of expression precisely because it provides a forum for the new, the provocative, the disturbing, and the unorthodox. Free speech is a barrier to the tyranny of authoritarian or even majority opinion as to the rightness or wrongness of particular doctrines or thoughts.” (Yale University, Freedom of Expression Report, 1975)
...
...We must never forget John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873) [pictured and quoted above], our eternal bulwark against the tyranny of both the majority and the individual would-be dictator.

For, while I have no fears over ‘global warming’, by George, I find the self-righteous intolerance of the ‘global warming’ bigots truly terrifying.
