What I would like you all to do is post a comment sharing your views about Hentoff's great chapter on the "right not to read" a book contrary to one's conscience.
Please. Everyone. Speak up! Fill cyberspace with your intelligence!
Nat Hentoff is an old style ACLUer, one who believes that free speech and freedom of thought are at the very core of liberty. He is a friend (well, a friendly acquaintance) of mine and I always enjoy reading his columns. He brings the eye of a journalist--an eye for facts and human details--to his analysis of legal issues.
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
