Quote from Revolt in 2100 by Heinlein:
Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy... Censorship.
When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects
'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know',
the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked;
contrariwise, no ammount of force can control a free man,
a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not the fission bombs,
not anything -- You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is
kill him

*You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him*

This, this sort of thing really should go on the SLUG-POL list,
I have a very long winded post there... Some might find it funny,
slightly weird, or something else.

Might get lots of people really peeved if this thread continues here.
