Circa early 21st Century
Remember now Vermont is the 3rd most patriotic State in the Nation
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
―
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
―
“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”
―
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

SO……..
Because “Free Speech” can be soooo hateful!!
