29 June 09 - "Governments make laws, but whether they are carried out, and how the police behave, depends on the general temper in the country. If large numbers of people are interested in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it; if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them... Even those who declare themselves to be in favour of freedom of opinion generally drop their claim when it is their own adversaries who are being prosecuted."

HBO Delivers. Almost sympathetic to ACLU. Almost. Can't help but think of the Onion Headline... ACLU defends Nazi's right to sue ACLU.
WB
haha, that's classic... Also, I really enjoyed the thought-provoking nature of the show. Interesting.
