Truest statement of the week

"The idea that citizens are free to dissent is ingrained in the American mythos, a concept even older than the Declaration of Independence itself. Equally important in this value system is the conviction that no nation state can survive as a democracy unless it safeguards political expression and activity."



-- Heidi Boghosian in Punishing Protest (available online in PDF format for free and avaible in book format for $3 at the National Lawyers Guild website). (Boghosian is also a co-host of Law and Disorder.)
