Gerard K. O'Neill Quotes
Here is my advice as we begin the century that will lead to 2081. First, guard the freedom of ideas at all costs.

And don't regard yourself as a guardian of freedom unless you respect and preserve the rights of people you disagree with to free, public, unhampered expression.
