Brandeis, Justice, US Supreme Court JusticeFear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burned women.

That is why most men dread it. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: John F.

Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. 02/07/08 :: Quote :: C.P. SnowWhen you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. 01/28/05 :: Quote :: Frederick DouglassNo man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. 01/08/06 :: Reference :: (link) :: UK report upcoming on psychosis effects of cannabis (pot) 12/15/03 :: Reference :: (link) :: Criminalizing Motherhood10/07/05 :: Quote :: Thomas JeffersonThe will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object. 10/03/05 :: Quote :: Henry KissingerWe must learn to distinguish morality from moralizing. 10/03/05 :: Quote :: John MiltonHere the great art lies, to discern in what the law is to be to restraint and
punishment, and in what things persuasion only is to work.
09/04/03 :: Quote :: O'RourkeOne of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Richard Kerry (R-Florida)I think that the free-enterprise system is absolutely too important to be left to the voluntary action of the marketplace. 09/04/03 :: Quote :: Arthur C.

Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick Henry [disputed]Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! 05/12/06 :: Quote :: AristotleA tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick HenryThe liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Samuel AdamsIf ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace.

For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.  07/29/03 :: Article :: Shouting "Fire!" in a Crowded Room :: An attack on propaganda and on anti-propaganda propaganda 07/15/05 :: Article :: Catch the terror :: T-shirt idea06/22/05 :: Quote :: Dune, by Frank Herberthe fell into the floating awareness . . . focusing the consciousness . . . aortal dilation . . . avoiding the unfocused mechanism of consciousness . . . to be conscious by choice . . . blood enriched and swift-flooding the overload regions . . . one does not obtain food-safety-freedom by instinct alone . . . animal consciousness does not extend beyond the given moment nor into the idea that its vi [...] 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Victor HugoWhen dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Patrick HenryThe Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests. 05/12/06 :: Quote :: Woodrow WilsonLiberty has never come from the government.
