Why cannot we work at cooperative schemes and search for the common ground binding all mankind together?

Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us?

These unwritten amenities have been in part responsible for giving our people the feeling of independence and self-confidence, the feeling of creativity. These amenities have dignified the right of dissent and have honored the right to be nonconformists and the right to defy submissiveness. They have encouraged lives of high spirits rather than hushed, suffocating silence.

It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies.

We deal with a right of privacy older than the Bill of Rights-older than our political parties, older than our school system.

The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas. The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.

This freedom of movement is the very essence of our free society, setting us apart. Like the right of assembly and the right of association, it often makes all other rights meaningful-knowing, studying, arguing, exploring, conversing, observing and even thinking. Once the right to travel is curtailed, all other rights suffer, just as when curfew or home detention is placed on a person.
