'Free at last! free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'

responsible society, these other issues will not come up in a responsible society,
and that is what freedom is all about.

We
cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
-- Edward
R. Murrow "If
we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny the right of the individual to
be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence of racial
equality then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for
a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our
present privileged status. Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the
individual in this country costs us the. . . confidence of men and women who aspire
to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors
fought."
-- Edward
R. Murrow |  |
