The Perils of Being Dumb and Silent

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

–George Washington

Leave it to the genius of a Founding Father to remind us how important our freedoms are, and just what’s at stake if we ever were to relinquish our rights to political leaders. Remember this the next time someone tries to persuade you that a new law or curtailment of freedom is in the “public interest.”
