“viewpoint diversity is necessary for the development of critical thinking, while viewpoint homogeneity (whether on the left or the right) leaves a community vulnerable to groupthink and orthodoxy.”

As long as society bows and cringes before the great thieves, there will be little ones enough to fill the jails.”
