We are instead harangued with endless pronouncements on the alleged evil of certain views being discussed openly, because they bring the targets of the criticism into harm's way. This presumptuous sanction is put in place with no consideration for its truth or the content of what is being made taboo. Attempts to point out glaring inconsistencies in the popular and now institutionalized account bring howls of rage from those who disagree. When these aren't effective enough, then threats of injury or death are employed, such as with David Cole. The open existence of and tolerance shown for this despicable mob bullying fouls our national social fabric immensely.
People have a right here to say anything they want without being attacked or financially ruined.
It is not tolerable to allow people to hurt others because they don't like their opinions. And if my government doesn't see the importance of this most basic and important right, I want to know why. If that would only happen, our task would quickly reach a conclusion. Formerly frightened people with much knowledge of the truth of the matter could at last speak openly, archives opened up, and the revealed ideas and information discussed and weighed by many. To allow anything less to prevail is to openly reveal that truth is not a main consideration in the matter, which is another quite unacceptable state of affairs.
