"On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill, excerpted
John Stuart Mill's essay on the importance of freedom of expression. What he has to say here reflects my own views on why it's important that people feel free to be able to speak... and to be heard. Without debate, no idea can be trusted. This applies to the recent controversies on the Yale campus, and it applies to Thunderf00t and Laughing Witch's conflict.
