I certainly agree with you about impacting the future.

We have a phrase here in the US that most of us try to stand by... "I may not like what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it".

What it signifies is a belief that if we don't defend the freedoms of speech and association of others, when the time comes that our own freedoms are challenged by an authoritative governing power, there will be no one left to defend us.

Something to think about everytime you find yourself willing to justify the oppression of non-violent practioners of a belief you may not personally agree with.

Regards,

Ron
