There are two freedoms in a democratic society that go hand in hand. One is the right to form an opinion about any subject. The second is the right we grant to others to disagree and form their own opinions. The essence of communication is to be able to make sense out of what another person says, and for another to make sense out of what I say, even if they don't say it like I do. Calvin
