It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either. ~ Mark Twain
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
―Søren Kierkegaard
All these people talk so eloquently about getting back to good old-fashioned values. Well, as an old poop I can remember back to when we had those old-fashioned values, and I say let's get back to the good old-fashioned First Amendment of the good old-fashioned Constitution of the United States -- and to hell with the censors! Give me knowledge or give me death!
― Kurt Vonnegut
Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage. ~ Winston Churchill
To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.
― Abraham Lincoln All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently, the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.
― George Bernard Shaw
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts. ― Daniel Patrick Moynihan
The struggle for a free intelligence has always been a struggle between the ironic and the literal mind. ― Christopher Hitchens
Free speech means the right to shout 'theatre' in a crowded fire. ― Abbie Hoffman
At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer. ~ Marshall Lumsden
I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking ~ Woodrow T. Wilson
That must be British, because “humor” is spelled “humour.”

Sin ... zed ... pie.
LoL!
I was at Walmart, buying a bag of Purina Dog Chow for my dog, in the checkout line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog food, right?
So on impulse, I told her that I didn’t have a dog, but I was starting the Purina Diet again and that I probably shouldn’t because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care, with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all you do is load your pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again.
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me.
I told her no.
I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle’s butt and a car hit me.
DANG, she’s got long arms! *shudder*
