How can anyone be said to have freedom of conscience when the range of thought they may encounter is circumscribed by censors?
- woodruffw 9y agoFirst, the cases I've listed aren't ambitious ones -- there are no censors, only public courts looking at a case after the fact to determine whether someone's speech was indeed inciteful. Second, how can anybody discover facts about the world if they haven't been discovered yet? Truth and thought are not contingent upon prior art; at best, they just speed it up a bit.
