You mean censored from the daily digest. The natural right of free speech is guaranteed every person that he may reach the minds of willing listeners and to do so there must be opportunity to win their attention. In any place where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. At the heart of natural rights lies the principle that each person should decide for himself or herself the ideas and beliefs deserving of expression, consideration, and adherence. Freedoms are most in danger when anyone seeks to control thought or to justify its rules for that impermissible end. The right to think is the beginning of freedom, and speech must be protected because speech is the beginning of thought. Live Long and Well William Constitution O'Rights The chess board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature and conquering death is the basic intelligence test in the physical universe. But it is not the strongest of the species that survives, it is not the smartest that survives, it is the one most adaptable to change. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
