I know I make fun of my local newspaper more than I should. And now, they're running a series of quarter-page ads about freedom of speech with pictures and quotes from famous figures. I thought it was a splendid idea. They've managed to keep running the ads for several weeks now. The problem? They seem to be, er, scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Today's quote:

"Let other people speak out. The heavens will not fall and you will not be thrown out. If you do not let others speak, then the day will surely come when you will be thrown out." Spoken by this guy.

He wouldn't have made my list of free speech champions, and I'm sure the people he killed and persecuted weren't too fond of him either, but I guess in this day and age you have to take heroes where you can find them.
