Fred, I am impressed. You're so conservative, but I agree entirely with what you said. I must be getting soft.

But I want to add something. If social progress in the broadest sense depends on acquiring knowledge and if knowledge depends on a broad policy of free expression, then social progress itself depends on free expression.

It seems that several of our most basic values - truth, democracy, and progress - all depend on freedom of expression.
